The Grimsel world is strongly characterised by the hydroelectric power plants. This landscape does not look disfigured, but hydroelectric power is a formative part and a lake always has a calming character. Without these plants, the Swiss and European electricity industry would simply have a problem. When there is a electricity surplus in Europe, the plants in the Grimsel region can serve as Europe's battery.
