Information on general production restrictions
The deliverable capacity of hydro power plants depends on the installed capacity of the units, the flow capacity and as well special constraints related to the reservoir utilization or to the incoming inflows. Some hydro plants have an inherent over-capacity, meaning that flow restrictions do not allow to produce at full force. Nevertheless, the reported capacity for Alpiq hydro portfolio equals the installed capacity. Detailed information on the difference between full availability and restricted availability can be found below:
| Asset | Plant | Installed Capacity | Restricted Available Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blenio (OFIBLE) | Centrale di Biasca | 420 MW | 306 MW |
| Centrale di Olivone | 120 MW | 110 MW | |
| Hongrin-Léman (FMHL) | Usine de Veytaux (Turbines) | 484 MW | 420 MW |
| Usine de Veytaux (Pumps) | 496 MW | 496 MW | |
| Maggia (OFIMA) | Centrale di Bavona | 162 MW | 140 MW |
| Centrale di Robiei | 185 MW | 160 MW | |
| Centrale di Verbano | 155 MW | 110 MW | |
| Cleuson-Dixence (CLD) | Usine de Bieudron | 1254 MW | 1188 MW |
