Sustainable energy
for your electricity business

We started introducing environmental management systems in our power plants more than 20 years ago. These are continually being expanded to include new VERBUND plants and are audited and certified annually by external experts (TÜV SÜD-certification: TÜV EE, TÜV EE+, TÜV EE new). Each year, more than 30 terawatt hours of electricity are generated in VERBUND power plants from renewable energy sources. The majority of our electricity generation is derived from climate-friendly, renewable hydropower. All VERBUND power plants meet the highest quality and ecological requirements.

The maintenance and optimisation of existing plants is a key success factor for achieving the climate and energy targets. That is why  VERBUND attaches particular importance to the continuous maintenance and improvement of existing plants with regard to efficiency increases and greening. In order to safeguard or improve the biodiversity of animals and plants, VERBUND continually invests in environmental protection and in ecological measures, such as the construction of fish passes to provide barrier-free access for fish in power plant areas.

In addition to hydropower projects, VERBUND is also increasingly focusing on wind and sun. In the future, one quarter of VERBUND’s total electricity will also be generated from photovoltaics and other wind farms. With electricity generation from renewable energy sources, we are resolutely continuing on our path towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
