Ecological measures around production

ECOLOGICAL MEASURES AROUND PRODUCTION 

We strive to use energy carefully and responsibly. Until 2015 we operated a small hydroelectric power station (Francis turbine) with a fish ladder, which covered about 30% of our electricity needs.

In 2014, we decided to build a new hydropower plant.

This double-regulated Kaplan turbine was put into operation in spring of 2017 and has three times the power output when the water level in the river Thaya is sufficient. In the course of this project, a flood protection (flap weir system) for the city center of Raabs/Thaya was also realized.

We also produce electricity by means of photovoltaics, this plant is to be expanded continuously. 

POWER FUEL SET

For more than 15 years we have been offering owners of electric/hybrid vehicles the opportunity to charge their car with electricity from renewable energy.

Partner of E-Friends

Since February 2020 we have been selling our free electricity from the generation of our hydroelectric power plant to an organization called eFriends. eFriends makes it possible to share clean and regionally generated electricity with a revolutionary technology for everyone.
