Ecology & environmental protection

The Zillertal plant group has been awarded the environmental certificate ISO 14001 since 2013. The hydropower plants of this plant group not only fulfil the statutory requirements but also focus on high environmental standards and technical innovations. Goals include the efficient use of hydropower and a balance between economy and ecology. The effectiveness and benefit of the environmental management system are mainly the responsibility of our employees, who undergo constant training and development in this area.
Environmental protection at VERBUND

Due to strong seasonal fluctuations in the water inflow, two different sets of machinery were installed: a Francis spiral turbine with horizontal shaft coupled to a generator with a rated output of 3,100 kW, and a spiral casing pump in turbine operation with a horizontal shaft, also coupled to a generator with a rated output of 900 kW.
