!!!VKW, Vorarlberger Kraftwerke AG

VKW, Vorarlberger Kraftwerke AG, originated as a power plant of the 
Jenny & Schindler textile company in Kennelbach, which first engaged 
in public power supply in 1901. In 1998, VKW operated 7 large and 6 
smaller hydroelectric power plants with a combined bottleneck output 
of 180 MW. VKW supplies over 155,000 customers in Vorarlberg and the 
neighbouring Allgaeu region with power. It holds the right to obtain 
power from several plants along the River Danube and from the Walgau 
plant operated by Vorarlberger Illwerke AG. First power plant to be 
partially privatised through the sale of VKW shares (20% of the 
nominal capital) held by the province of Vorarlberg in 1988.
