1 Verbund Austrian Hydro Power AG Implementation of WFD and sustainable electricity production - tasks, challenges and experiences in Drava river basin H. Harreiter

2 Topics Introduction Status of hydro power development on the Austrian Part of river Drava Implementation of WFD - AHP's viewpoint Actual measurements of AHP related to WFD (research, pilot projects) Future developments

3 Verbund Austrian Hydro Power (AHP) Company Presentation 90 Hydro Power Plants 69 Runoff HPP and 21 Storage HPP MW Capacity GWh/a Annual Generation (equal to 40% of Austria's electricity consumption) Freudenau/Wien Schwabeck St. Veith Kaprun Zillergründl Malta

4 AHP in Carinthia general Overview S T E I E R M A R K S A L Z B U R G Malta Oberstufe O S T - T I R O L Reißeck- Kreuzeck Malta Unterstufe Malta Hauptstufe Kellerberg Paternion Schwabeck Lavamünd Villach Edling I T A L I E N Rosegg- St. Jakob Feistritz Ludmannsdorf Annabrücke Ferlach Maria Rain Speicherkraftwerke S L O W E N I E N Flußkraftwerke

5 Power Plant Cascade in River Drava in Carinthia

6 Actual Framework for Hydro Power Energy Policy: p Liberalisation of Energy Markets p Renewable Energy Directive (Proposal) European Target: Share of Renewable Sources 20% 2020 p General Dependency of European Energy Supply 70% dependency on energy sources outside Europe (prediction for 2030) Environmental Policy p Implementation of Water Framework Directive (WFD) p FFH Directive, Bird Directive (NATURA 2000)

7 WFD Results of Status Quo Analysis 940 Water bodies Risikoverteilung in Österreich gesamt Results of Risk Analysis, Hydro morphology: 56 % Risk 26 % Risk not evaluated 18 % no Risk % der Wasserkörperlänge im Risiko Gesamtrisiko **chemische Schadstoffe *Allg. chem.-physik.parameter Hydromorphologie Restwasser Schwall Stau Querbauwerke Hydromorphologie Morphologie Risiko Risiko nicht einstufbar kein Risiko * inklusive Gewässergüte ** prioritäre Stoffe + Stoffe der Liste I, gem. RL 76/464/EWG und sonstige Schadstoffe gem. WRRL

8 Potential Conflicts Related to Hydro Power River continuum, lateral and transversal p Additional Investment Costs Ecological Flow p Reduction of generation (Assumption for Austria app. 2-7 %) Hydro Peaking p Impacts on energy and grid management)

9 Challenges for AHP on River Drava Target Sustainable use of hydro power: p Energy Production p Flood and Sediment Management Applied R&D Projects and Pilot Projects Implication on Investment Strategy

10 Research Project: River Basin Management for the reservoirs on river Drava p Status Quo Analysis p Identification if problems p General mitigation measures

11 River Basin Management Project Identification of Problems and need for action
