Austria Agree to Convert Gas Power Plant to Coal

ENERGY SECURITY

Austria’s government announced on Sunday its plans to convert a gas fired power plant to run on coal if an emergency supply situation with Russia gas develops.

  • The majority state-owned utility Verbund has agreed to convert the Mellach power plant in the southern Styria region. It was Austria’s last coal-fired plant before being converted to gas which has been shut-down but remained in standby mode.
  • "The federal government and the energy group VERBUND have agreed to convert the Mellach (Styria) district heating power plant, which is currently shut down, so that in an emergency it can once again produce electricity from coal (not gas)," according to the government statement out yesterday.
  • Russia cut gas flows to a number of European utilities last week, though have claimed a proportion of that is due to repairs on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which is running at about 40% capacity.
