!!!BEWAG, Burgenländische Elektrizitätswirtschafts-AG

BEWAG (Burgenlaendische Elektrizitaetswirtschafts-AG), founded in 
1958, took over the electricity supply for the province of Burgenland 
from NEWAG (now  EVN AG) and  STEWEAG in 1959. In 1990, 49% of the

Burgenland Holding AG, but the province of Burgenland continued to be 
the main shareholder, holding 51%. BEWAG has no power stations of its 
own, but gets all its electricity from the  Verbundkonzern, the 
Austrian Electricity Association. BEWAG supplied 128,000 customers 
with electricity and operated a network of about 8,365 km in 1999. In 
addition, it holds shares in several other companies, in particular in 
the electronics and telecommunications sectors. Focus on research,
