The Tusciano hydroelectric power plant, the first hydroelectric plant in southern Italy, was built in the early 1900s. The Tusciano plant currently has a production of approximately 9.8 MW. The water used by the plant is channeled through a dam on the Tusciano river in the Acquabuona area, in the municipality of Acerno. Through an underground pipeline, the water reaches, in about an hour, the collection tank in the "Bacino", here it is made to flow in an iron pipeline and after a jump of 280 meters it reaches the turbines that transmit the energy to an alternator that produces the electricity then fed into the grid. A generation group with a power of 9.2 MW and a production capacity of 45 GWh/year is installed in the power plant. source: Eduiren
