Electricity generation from renewable energy
Nearly 100% of our electricity comes from renewable energy sources, primarily hydropower, supplemented by solar and wind power. With this large share, VERBUND is a guarantor of clean energy.
About VERBUND
VERBUND is Austria’s leading energy company and one of the largest producers of electricity using hydropower in Europe. Around 100% of our electricity generation comes from climate-friendly, renewable energy.
VERBUND guarantees reliable electricity supply and secures our energy future.
Electricity transmission
As the owner of the independent Austrian Power Grid AG (APG), VERBUND is by far Austria’s largest electricity transport company.
Thermal power
The efficient Mellach combined-cycle gas turbine power plant supports the transition to clean energy and can be used as a readily available back-up.
Sales and distribution
We offer residential customers electricity from 100% hydropower and heating gas, as well as innovative products for energy-smart households. For industrial and commercial customers, we develop tailor-made solutions for energy efficiency and the management of consumption and production flexibility. In Germany, VERBUND is the leading supplier of green electricity to resellers and large customers.
VERBUND is international. We contribute to a climate-neutral Europe and export our expertise to the rest of the world.
Expansion of renewables in Europe
To continue supplying Europe reliably with electricity, it is important to make the best possible use of all energy sources. In addition to hydropower, we therefore also rely on photovoltaics (PV) and wind power, which complement each other perfectly. Innovative solutions such as storage systems play a crucial role here. In addition to our home market in Austria, we develop and run projects in Germany, Spain, Italy, Albania and Romania.
Expertise from Austria
Our decades of experience in planning, construction and operation have made our hydropower specialists in demand for their expertise all over the world.
Green hydrogen plays a crucial role in achieving the climate objectives and is one of the key pillars of the VERBUND strategy.
Hydrogen production for a sustainable future
VERBUND is working on hydrogen production for
decarbonisation in our core countries and is building up a diversified project portfolio of local H2 production plants in Austria, Germany and Spain.
Import using diversified transport corridors
However, rising demand will not be met by local production alone in the long term. We are therefore actively working on large-scale projects in European states and neighbouring regions to import large volumes of green hydrogen.
