Current buoys in rivers from 3m depth
can generate up to 350 MWh of electricity per year. They float under water and are attached to the bottom with chains. Fish are prevented from swimming through with a rake. In the Rhine near St Goar, close to the Loreley Rock, the first major power buoy park in Germany is planned.
