Excess river water reduces Swiss hydropower capacity Published on Share Switzerland’s overbursting rivers, swollen by excessive rainfall, have resulted in some hydroelectric power plants having to reduce operations. Nearly 60% of Switzerland’s electricity production is derived from hydropower, with 677 plants dotted around the country. But more water does not necessarily lead to increased power production from this source. Several rivers, such as the Aare, are raging too hard for hydropower plants to cope with. Six river power plants run by provider BKW have been forced to shut down temporarily, company spokesman Stefan Bütler told Swiss public broadcaster SRF.
