On November 4, the presentation of this year’ Kärnten ENERGY GLOBE Award took place in the Velden Casino. Many innovative projects where presented with prizes.

Kärnten projects in the field of renewable energy and climate protection were awarded the ENERGY GLOBE Award Environment Prize by Member of the Regional Government with energy responsibilities Dr. Beate Prettner as part of Kärnten Full of Energy. 

Innovation, quality and costs were only three of a total of eight criteria, which were significant for a points-based win. The victory went to Dietmar Stuck Jr. of NSP-New Solar Pump with a total of 17 of a possible 22 points. His concept of the solar pump station for developing countries was chosen as the State Winner by the jury comprising WK Vice President Sylvia Wostal, Polytechnic Marketing Manager Mag.
