5 Kelag Project Partner of Sonnenstadt St. Veit an der Glan, Austria City location - central Carinthia (population appx ; landmass 51² km) Since the early 1990 s the goal of St. Veit is highly focused on utilizing renewable energy. Establishment of a reliable district heating network by partnering Kelag and an industrial enterprise (today over 60% of district heating is generated utilizing biomass and waste heat recycling) Commercial and industrial priorities in the area of renewable energy (Companies dealing with solar power are among the market leaders) On this basis, the establishment of Sonnenstadt (Sun City) Sankt Veit an der Glan was accomplished. The Project was developed by working closely with Kelag, industry and private investors (Project start 2009/2010) 5

11 Summary The themes Climate Protection, Supply Secrurity and Remaining Competitve are clearly defined as challengees for the future. In order to ensure a safe and pollution free power supply effectively, investments are required in hydropower, renewable energy, efficient power plants and into network infrastructure A crucial focus also needs to be developed for the enhancement of energy efficiency as well as the use of new technologies. Kelag will continue to make substantial contributions to climate protection and to guarantee electric supply. Energy consulting, expanded use of innovative technologies and the support of suitable research activities will continue to be the key focus of Kelag. To be able to reach the present energy policy targets, a concerted collaboration of effort is absolutely necessary for ALL who are involved (public/customer, politicians/legislators, administrative bodies, companies and enterprises). 11
