The river Mera is a natural source of clean Energy. A series of plants along the splendid Val Bregaglia are fed by a complex network of pipelines, and the chain operates in a virtuous fashion. For a decade between the end of the 1940’s and ‘50’s, Italy and Switzerland combined to create a complex and heroic system of hydroelectric usage which extends over 40 kms with almost 2000 metres height differential. It stretches from the lake created by the Albigna dam to the final power station at Samolaco. The two energy companies of the cities north and south of the Alps, EWZ for Zurich and A2A for Milan, owners of the key plants, are both inextricably linked to the valley, a vital source of clean energy for the two metropols.
