Title:	Underground construction on the Prutz/Ried contract of the Gemeinschaftskraftwerk Inn (GKI) / Der Untertagebau im Baulos Prutz/Ried des Gemeinschaftskraftwerks Inn (GKI)
Abstract:	Even in the 1920s were already the plans for hydropower exploitation of the upper River Inn. Since the resumption of design work, the Gemeinschaftskraftwerk Inn (GKI) project has been optimised and adapted to the latest state of the technology as well as ecological requirements. After a collaborative process involving the authorities from both countries, the start of construction could be approved in 2014. The project will build a diversion hydropower station with an annual generation of about 414 GWh in the border area of Switzerland and Austria. Schon in den 1920er-Jahren gab es bereits erste Pläne für die Wasserkraftnutzung am Oberen Inn. Seit der Wiederaufnahme der Planung wurde das Projekt Gemeinschaftskraftwerk Inn (GKI) optimiert und an den neuesten Stand der Technik sowie an die ökologischen Ansprüche angepasst. Nach einem zweistaatlichen Behördenverfahren konnte 2014 der Startschuss für die Errichtung gegeben werden. Damit entsteht im schweizerisch-österreichischen Grenzgebiet ein Ausleitungskraftwerk mit einer Jahreserzeugung von rund 414 GWh.
