The Quincinetto 2 hydroelectric power plant is located on the Dora Baltea River on the border between the Aosta Valley, where the intake structure is located, and Piedmont, where the power plant is located.

From the Turin-Aosta highway, which runs alongside it, the cave of the forebay reservoir, the glass window of the engine room leaning against the mountain and the electrical station are clearly visible. The average annual hydroelectric output of the Quincinetto power plant is 120 GWh. The current Quincinetto 2 plant was created by merging two pre-existing plants: the Carema plant, built in the early 1900s (4.5 MW), and the Quincinetto 1 plant, built in 1919 (3 MW).

Some of the works of these plants are still in existence: the Carema building has been renovated and reused by third parties for different activities, while the Quincinetto 1 plant has been purchased from third parties, partially modernized, and put back into service with the surplus water that cannot be used by the new plant.
