The new management team of Verbund-Innkraftwerke GmbH brings with them Verbund's competence in the construction and operation of hydropower plants. Both simultaneously preside over Verbund-Austrian Hydro Power AG, which holds the responsibility in the Verbund Group for the construction and operation of 108 hydropower facilities. For decades, the combination of economic efficiency, ecological consideration and the involvement of the local inhabitants in projects has been the recipe for successful company management.
The company's headquarters remain in Bavaria; all 217 employees will be taken on with unchanged employment conditions. The invitation extended to Bavarian municipalities and municipal businesses, to make investments in Verbund-Innkraftwerke GmbH amounting to up to 30%, continues to be valid.
Within the framework of E.ON´s sales obligation, Verbund was able to acquire 13 run-of-river power plants on Bavaria's River Inn during the course of a tendering procedure. The power plants' annual production amounts to 1,850 GWh, which corresponds to around nine percent of Verbund's entire run-of-river power production. The purchase price comprises a cash purchase price and a 20-year delivery contract for electricity from the Zemm/Ziller power plant group. An agreement of confidentiality concerning the purchase price was reached between E.ON and Verbund.
