The Kembs project in the Haut-Rhin region was undertaken to improve a section of the Rhine river, in order to produce and distribute electrical power in Alsace. The hydroelectric plant was completed in August 1932. With an average annual output of 850 millions kWh, Kembs is the largest low-fall hydroelectric plant in France.
