EVN has decided not to expand the Rosenburg power plant on the Kamp in Lower Austria. The citizens' initiative "Lebendiger Kamp", the Lower Austrian Nature Conservation Association, Riverwatch and WWF have been protesting against this project for over 10 years. "EVN's announcement that the Rosenburg power plant will not be expanded is pleasing, but can only be a first step. To get a 'living Kamp' again, it is not enough to prevent deterioration - the Kamp needs improvement. To achieve this, the dam in Rosenburg must be removed. " says Ulrich Eichelmann, Riverwatch CEO.
