At Lake Millstatt

Hoteliers annoyed about power cut-off

A circular letter from Kelag is currently causing displeasure at Lake Millstatt. In the middle of the season, the electricity is switched off at short notice!

"That can't be right! A week before we are informed that we will be without electricity next Monday," Millstätter hotel operators are annoyed by a letter distributed by Kelag informing those affected that "urgent expansion and maintenance measures must be carried out on the grid from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.".

"Far too short notice"
The operators don't like the timing at all: "In the middle of the season, right at breakfast and departure time, we can't cook anything, nothing works without electricity, no hot water, no vacuum cleaner!", they get upset at the Hotel Kaiser Franz Josef. "What's more, the cold stores are out of action," adds hotelier Christian Nikolasch angrily: "We've been organizing for hours to ensure that operations can continue. This is far too short notice."

A postponement is required. "It would be easier in the afternoon. But they didn't respond to our request", they feel let down.
