activity
Since October 1, 2012, BEWAG and BEGAS have been merged as Energie Burgenland. The company looks after around 200,000 electricity customer systems and 55,000 gas house connections. The three main pillars of Energie Burgenland are generation, networks / technology and sales / service.
The second wind initiative was started in May 2011 with two multi-megawatt wind turbines in Potzneusiedl. Energie Burgenland invested a total of around € 800 million in the expansion of wind energy. With these investments it was achieved that from 2013 as much electricity will be generated from wind energy in the state as is consumed in Burgenland during the year. In addition, around € 100 million went into expanding the network infrastructure.
Group of companies
Energie Burgenland announced in spring 2016 that it would partially merge its originally nine subsidiaries, so that there will only be five in the future. These structural changes are to be implemented by 2017. Such mergers have already taken place in the past, where it was reduced to nine companies by 2012. After the current merger, around 7 million euros should be saved annually by 2020.
