VERBUND: Disambiguation
VERBUND is NOT the same as Wien Energie or EVN, which are regional retail-focused utilities, although EVN is a notable VERBUND shareholder. It is also distinct from Austrian Power Grid (APG), which is a VERBUND-owned subsidiary that operates the transmission grid, not the generation business. VERBUND refers specifically to VERBUND AG, the Vienna-listed parent company of the VERBUND group.
