Wien Energie - No current support for Germany

Germany fears for the nuclear phase-out of a potential shortage of electricity supply, the Federal Network Agency has requested so in the summer of Austrian power utility companies to help.

Wien Energie had discussions on the provision of a reserve capacity of 140 MW electrical power plant out of the Danube city of 1 for power supplies. It had gone to contract details such as the availability of the power plant or minimum terms. Should change something, but you stand still with the reserve capacity of the power plant Donaustadt one available.

Vienna would be the energy with 140 MW of the smallest part of the originally offered by Wien Energie, EVN and composite thermal reserve capacity together 1075 megawatts (MW) omitted. Composite (150 MW) and EVN (785 MW) had their installments for some time under one roof.
