The Lunersee Hydroelectric Power Project in Austria will produce winter peak power from pumped storage. It will consist of the construction of a small dam across the lower end of Luner Lake (Lunersee) to increase its storage capacity, the diversion of the run-off of a glacier into the lake, and the construction of 9.7 kilometers of tunnels, siphons, and penstocks to convey water from the lake to a new power-house in which five generating and five pumping units will be installed. The Austrian benefits will include: additional power facilities with which to satisfy the demands in Vorarlberg and Tirol, and the benefits to the German power will include: the availability of 127,000 kw of additional power for use at periods of peak demand at a cost of about 17 per kilowatt-year (a very cheap cost) and the sale of some of their off peak energy to the project for pumping.

The Reisseck and Kreuzeck Hydroelectric Project in Austria will produce electric power from water in the wintertime and save fuel. The project consists of the construction of a system of dams, reservoirs, tunnels, and other civil works in the Reisseck and Kreuzeck Mountains for the collection, storage, and delivery of water to the main powerhouse located on the Moell River. The new transmission line will permit an exchange of power between Italy and Austria, for dams, and hydroelectric power which will allow the use of surplus energy on each side of the border to the advantage of both countries.

The Thermal and Hydroelectric Projects in Austria will assist in the financing of the expansion programs for the hydroelectric, and thermal power plants. The first project will consist of a large run-of-the-river hydroelectric plant on the Danube, 130 km by river above Vienna, and will have a capacity of 192,000 kw from six generating units installed in two power houses. The other two projects are Voitsberg and St. Andra, both expansions of thermal plants using domestic brown coal. The three projects are an essential part of the program of power expansion being carried out in Austria. This program is based on conservative estimates of the future growth of demand and if it were to be curtailed there would be a shortage of power that might have serious consequences for the future development of the Austrian economy.

The Aschach Hydropower Project in Austria will assist in providing energy to meet the base load requirements in the system and to maintain an economic balance between hydro and thermal generation. The dam structure will have a total length of 496 meters and would consist of a weir section, a power house, two locks, and an operational building. The power house will be equipped with four generating units with a total capacity of 264 kv. The four transformers will be located on a platform on the downstream side of the power house and connected with the switching station on the right bank by cables. A 34 kilometer double circuit 220 kv transmission line and a new switching station at Lambach will provide the connection between the Aschach plant and the Verbundgesellschaft (V.G.) network. This project will provide a substantial amount of energy to meet the base load requirements in the system and help to maintain an economic balance between hydro and thermal generation. Compared with an alternative thermal plant, the additional investment required for the hydro installation is justified.

The Third Industrial Credit Project will fulfill Oesterreichische Investitionskredit A.G. (IVK) request for a loan from the Bank to replenish its resources in order to meet the continued demand for long-term loans in Austria. This project will finance IVK long-term loans for the expansion and modernization of industry. The need for such an institution as IVK in Austria, already an industrialized country, arises primarily from the absence of an adequate capital market to which industry, particularly small and medium-sized, can turn for funds. It will enable IVK to maintain the tempo of its operations while at the same time providing additional time for it to establish its credit in private capital markets.

The Second Industrial Credit Project for Austria provides funds to the Oesterreichische Investitionskredit A.G. (IVK) to finance industrial projects approved by the World Bank. During the two years since its establishment, the IVK has been successful in increasing its equity and total available resources to provide for a further modest expansion of lending. The staff, although small, has demonstrated its ability to make sound project appraisals. There is reason to expect that the IVK can stand on its own and play a useful role in the Austrian capital market. In these circumstances, the IVK is a suitable borrower for a Bank loan on the condition that the total long-tem indebtedness should not exceed an amount equal to 3.5 times the sum of its unimpaired capital, reserves, and the outstanding amount of the ERP Counterpart Fund loan.
