General view of the Emosson dam is seen during a visit to the Nant de Drance hydropower
A general view of the Emosson dam is seen during a visit to the Nant de Drance hydropower plant near the village of Finhaut, close to the border between Switzerland and France August 19, 2014. The Nant de Drance hydropower plant is set to utilise the height difference between the Emosson and Vieux Emosson reservoirs that lie close to the Swiss-French border, in a project that will eventually help cope with energy demand during peak consumption periods and improve overall network stability.
