Austrian Oil & Gas Group, one of the world's top 500 companies, was founded in 1960, one of the well-known state-owned joint-stock companies in Austria, and carries out extraction and production business around the world, and is an important oil and gas group in Central Europe

OMV is one of the largest state-owned joint-stock companies in Austria and the largest oil and gas group in Central Europe, with annual sales of 7.6 billion euros and net profits of 393 million euros. Headquartered in Vienna, OMV is today the leading oil company in Central and Eastern Europe, with a focus on extraction and production worldwide. The company has set ambitious growth targets to double its share of the extraction, production, refining, natural gas and chemical markets by 2008. In order to realize this ambitious plan, economic and technological advantages are indispensable. That's why OMV and the Schwarcha refinery need to be renovated. Since its foundation in 1960, the plant has become one of the largest refineries in Europe. The plant has an annual capacity of 9.6 million tonnes of crude oil and accounts for 70% of Austria's production of oil and mineral products.

OMV has two generator sets that are connected directly to the machining hall and are responsible for supplying power to the entire plant. OMV uses two power stations that work together to supply power to the largest refinery plant in Schwicza. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing high-efficiency energy without interruption.
