TACONNAZ Name of the project: Taconnaz Installed capacity: 4.5 MW Commissioning date: 11/2019 Households powered: ~ 4 800
The Taconnaz run-of-river hydroelectric power plant has a capacity of 4.5 MW on the Taconnaz torrent in Haute-Savoie (France).
The production of the Taconnaz hydroelectric power plant will ensure the annual electricity consumption of approximately 4,800 households, covering nearly 90% of the population of the communes of Chamonix and Les Houches.
While most European glaciers are melting under the effect of global warming, the construction of a hydroelectric power plant at the foot of the Taconnaz glacier contributes to the fight against these deregulations by producing electricity without Co² emissions.
