In the ski region of South Tyrol, acceptable solutions had to be found for two sites, as water from the Furkelbach is used by cablecar operator Olanger Seilbahnen AG for snow-making systems. An agreement was reached thanks to a 50 l/s pump back. The operating company is 80% from the town of Olang and 20% private. Thanks to the combination of Pelton turbines and an AEM synchronous generator, it is possible to feed over 2 GWh into the local network for this purpose each year. The payback period for the site is around 8 to 10 years.
