“These companies generate more than 90% of Austria’s electricity and operate the Austrian transport and distribution networks. In representing its members’ interests with regard to energy policies, Oesterreichs Energie works in close cooperation with national and international political decision makers. The legal, regulatory, technical and economic framework conditions of the deregulated electricity market are jointly developed in working groups with the responsible ministries and regulatory authorities. Oesterreichs Energie conducts the regular collective agreement negotiations with the employee representatives.”
