Ticino Finance and Economics Director Christian Vita (FDP) explained that the dam upgrade is one of 15 hydroelectric projects of national importance and is the most important one in Ticino. The aim is to reduce foreign dependency in energy.

Lago di Sambuco is located north of Fusio in the upper Lavizzara Valley, a side valley of the Maggia Valley. The lake, which is at an altitude of 1,460 meters above sea level, was created in 1956. The power plant is located in Piano di Peccia at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level. Overall, the performance boost is currently expected to cost over CHF 120 million.

Sambuccosee is one of the Maggia power stations using the slope between Griessee VS and Langensee. In 2036 the concession will be transferred to the cantonal power company AET. (SDA)
