The Esterle hydroelectric power plant, located on the right bank of the Adda River, began operating in 1914. It is dedicated to the memory of Carlo Esterle, Edison's managing director until 1918. The building, particularly known for its beauty, is constructed in a style derived from the eclectic Lombard tradition. The meticulous ornaments, the geometric and floral motifs, the columns and capitals at the entrance, the wrought iron street lamps and the imposing Gothic-style windows make it appear more like a villa than a real industrial building.

The Bertini is Edison's and Italy's oldest hydroelectric power plant, inaugurated in 1898 and once the most powerful in Europe. Created to electrify Milan's trams, it is located between Paderno and Cornate d’Adda, harnessing the Adda river. It includes turbines, control panels, and a transformation station, and is remotely controlled from the Venina Centre.

Centrale Esterle appears like a Lombard villa and has exquisite architectural details. Built by Edison, it represents a masterpiece of industrial archaeology. Despite modern renovations, it still retains its original beauty and shape.
