All the power plants of Officine Idroelettriche Mesolcina and Calancasca AG suffered only minor damage. They are in a safe condition and ready for operation. They will be recommissioned at the appropriate time and in consultation with the authorities. 

The facilities and reservoirs of Elettricità Industriale SA are also in a safe condition, but have suffered damage and can only be put back into operation once they have been repaired.
