Other federal states put almost constantly new pump shops in operation, only in Tyrol does the WWF not stop campaign against the expansion of the Kaunertal energy power plant. Sometimes questionable methods are used for this.
The WWF is not afraid of costs and effort to make a vote in Tyrol against the expansion of the Kaunertal energy plant. Doubtful methods are sometimes used, such as the presentation of 100,000 signatures of unclear origin.
Side of the tiwag board
Or the “crash” of a press conference of TIWAG: an employee was apparently presented as a medium and TIWAG board member Alexander Speckle with WWF scripts for the so -called unprofitable power plant construction. However, this shot failed a counterproductive because the counterattack with background knowledge was one number too great for the WWF activist.
Neubarth Study folds the third
In Pfunds there is a referendum on the subject of expansion Kraftwerk Kaunertal in Pfunds, which would result in a flood of the rear area of the 2400 meters high. The WWF puts itself in position and again gets the study by Energie -Expert Jürgen Neubarth from the (old) hat – for the third time since 2023. The most important message: “The planned pump memory in the Kaunertal does not pay economically and there are much better alternatives.” TIWAG wants to invest 1.6 billion in the new pump memory with the flatzertal memory, the expected gross added value for Tyrol is around 938 million euros.
Planned completion 2035
“With the pumped memory we invest in a storage solution for tomorrow. As an energy supplier and stock corporation, we are obliged to clearly monitor both safety and profitability and profitability of our project,” Specle emphasizes.
Something is going on in other federal states
Although the WWF campaign against the expansion of the power plant does not want to end in Tyrol is passionately discussed, other federal states are much further: the Reisseck II energy center was put into use in Carinthia on Monday. Just like the new power plant, the Public Prosecution Service serves to save excess solar energy for a longer period. In Vorarlberg, the Illwerke builds one reminder after the other – without the theater goal of the nature conservation organization. The “Kroon” wanted to know from her whether other projects also campaigned like in Tyrol, but did not receive an answer.
Authority procedure, experts about the word
It can also be completely irrelevant what the WWF means. Because the EIA of the environmental effect has begun, this is the strictest research and approval process in Austria. NGOs can make objections, the assessment is carried out by neutral test rating agents.
