The water from the Upper Tauern mountains is the source of energy for VERBUND's power plants in Salzburg. It is used in multiple ways to generate electricity efficiently and in an environmentally sound way: first in Kaprun, and then along the Salzach. Along the middle section of the Salzach, VERBUND and the Salzburg AG operate power plants jointly.
