Hydropower plant on hold for years: That's what Bavaria's environment minister says. Approval is still missing for the hydroelectric power plant that has been planned in Wolfratshausen for years.

Bayernwerk AG is behind the project together with Stadtwerke Bad Tölz. The water permit was applied for in 2015. It should go online in 2017. The waterfall is expected to provide electricity for around 2,000 households. It will then take another three years until the system is built.
