The Altenwörth power plant is one of the largest run-of-river power plants in Austria. It is located on the Danube in the municipality of Altenwörth and is operated by VERBUND AG. Commissioned in 1976, the power plant has produced approximately 2.1 billion kilowatt hours annually since then, equivalent to the annual energy needs of approximately 600,000 households. The Altenwörth power plant is equipped with a fish pass to ensure the ecological continuity of the Danube. It also plays an important role in flood protection, as the weir can intervene to regulate flooding.

The Altenwörth run-of-river power plant on the Danube was commissioned in 1976 and is one of Austria's largest hydroelectric power plants. Operated by VERBUND AG, it generates approximately 2.1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to supply around 600,000 households. In addition to energy production, the plant features a fish passage to ensure the ecological continuity of the Danube and contributes to flood control through its adjustable weir. Furthermore, a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists spans the power plant, offering views of the Danube and the surrounding landscape.
