Approximately 1,400 tons of waste can now be converted into energy per day, according to EVN. "Despite this high capacity, it will take several months until the backlog of waste is completely processed," it was emphasized in a statement on Thursday.

Dürnrohr Waste Incineration Plant Affected by Flooding

"The flood not only caused significant damage to the waste incineration plant, but also left behind considerable amounts of bulky waste. These are now being gradually processed," EVN spokesperson Stefan Zach looked ahead.

In recent weeks, the ability to shred and bale the delivered bulky waste has been quickly created. In this form, the waste was temporarily stored on the premises of the Dürnrohr power plant site. This approach also opens up new possibilities for the future. "If our plant has to shut down for a longer period again, we can store up to 80,000 tons here in the future," said Zach.
