VERBUND mission: What drives us on
VERBUND is the country's leading energy company. As the force for renewable energy, we want to do our bit to mobilise Austrians to get involved in the energy transition.
"Europe will become climate neutral by 2050, Austria will no longer be the source of any CO2 emissions by 2040. From 2030, all electricity consumption in our country should be covered entirely from renewable energy sources on a balance sheet basis. Everyone is asked to meet the expansion targets by 2030: from politics to industry and business and everyone who lives in Austria. All of us can and must contribute to completing the energy transition together."
