Summary

Description
Dansk: Harteværket er et vandkraftværk ved Kolding, som blev bygget i årene 1918-1920 og er Danmarks første større vandkraftværk.

Harteværket blev påbegyndt mod slutningen af 1. verdenskrig for at dække et voksende behov for el. Arkitekten var Ernst Petersen og byggeriet beskæftigede ca. 350 arbejdere. Vandet til værket kommer fra Donssøerne, der blev dannet ved at opstemme Vester Nebel Å og Alminde Å. Vandet ledes fra Donssøerne ned til værkets turbiner gennem kanaler og et 80 meter langt rør med et fald på 25,4 meter. Der strømmer 6.000 liter vand gennem dette rør hvert sekund.

Efter naturgenopretningen af Vester Nebel Å i 2008 er vandtilførslen til Harteværket reduceret med 60 %, men produceres fortsat el på Harteværket, der i dag fungerer som et arbejdende museum, der formidler natur og kulturhistorie til besøgende. Harteværket drives i dag som arbejdende museum af Fonden Harteværket. De originale turbiner fra 1920 producerer 1,8 kWh pr. time, afhængig af vandmængden. I 1992 dækkede værket omkring 1% af elforbruget i Kolding. Det meste indendørs teknik er fra dengang, det blev bygget.
English: Harteværket is a hydroelectric plant in Harte,Kolding, which was built in the years 1918-1920 and is Denmark's first major hydroelectric plant.

Harteværket started towards the end of the first World War, in order to meet the growing need for electricity. The architect was Ernst Petersen and construction workers employed around 350 workers. The water for the plant comes from Donssøerne, which was formed by the damming up Vester Nebel stream and Alminde stream. The water is running from Donssøerne down to the plant's turbines through channels and a 80 meter long tube with a decrease of 25.4 meters. Flowing 6,000 liters of water through the pipes every second.

After the natural recreation of Vester Nebel stream in 2008, the water supply to Harteværket was reduced by 60%, but still produced electricity. Harteværket, which today serves as a working museum. The original turbines from 1920 produces 1.8 kWh. hour, depending on the amount of water. In 1992, it supplied about 1% of the electricity consumption in Kolding. Most of the equipment inside, is from the time it was buildt.
