Abstract:
A number of targets from energy and climate policy require a restructuring of the Austrian energy system. These targets refer to the end of the commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol by 2012, to the ambitious EU targets set for 2020 and to the emerging goals for 2050 in the UNFCCC process. Together with stakeholders we will develop compatible restructuring strategies corresponding to these temporal milestones.
