Climate and energy policies are driving the rapid transformation towards a CO2-neutral energy system
Initiatives to combat climate change lead to massive changes in the international energy markets
Our Strategy
Diversification with a clear focus on climate neutrality, circular economy, digitalisation and drinking water supplies
Efficiency improvements in all business areas
Stable and regulated activities form a solid backbone
Sector environment and trends
Strain on networks due to the transport of rising, volatile feed-in from renewable generation
Our Strategy
Continuous and future-oriented expansion of facilities in the regulated network segment
Focus on supply security and quality
Sector environment and trends
Global targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
European and Austrian climate policy with a clear commitment to system conversion towards renewable generation
Our Strategy
Active contribution to climate protection (e.g. through agreeing a decarbonisation path with the Science Based Targets initiative as well as climate neutrality in selected subsidiaries)
Focus on wind power and photovoltaic
Sector environment and trends
Increasing competition in the end customer market
Rising demand for digitalisation and smart technologies
Our Strategy
Digitalisation of sales processes
Further development of business models and energy services through digitalisation
Sector environment and trends
High growth potential for renewable generation (very good wind and solar conditions)
Continued high demand for efficiency improvements in network operations
Progressive liberalisation as challenge for energy distribution
Our Strategy
Growth through realisation of new wind power and photovoltaic projects
Commitment to supply security and quality
Focus on measures to reduce network losses and improve the collection rate
Efficiency improvements in the operating business
Sector environment and trends
Increase in water consumption due to demographic changes (urbanisation) and growing number of weather-related peak periods
Rising quality demands on water supplies (e. g. hardness of the water)
Our Strategy
Increase in pumping station capacity to improve performance and expansion of cross-regional pipeline networks
Construction of natural filter plants to reduce the hardness of the water by natural means
Development of new drinking water sources
Sector environment and trends
Ban on spreading of sewage sludge and stricter EU requirements for the separation and recycling of household waste (e. g. plastic)
Our Strategy
Operation of own thermal waste and sewage sludge utilisation plants in Lower Austria
