in view of changes in the methods of calculating the economic
impetus arising from the operation of installations (cf. explanation
of method in annex, section 7), the results obtained for 2010 are
not comparable with the results for previous years.
in view of the small amount (2010: 4.0 million eUR), geothermal
energy sales are not shown.

Economic impetus due to the operation of installations results from the expenditure on operation
and maintenance of the installations, especially in the form of personnel expenses and
ancillary energy costs, plus the cost of any fuels required. A detailed description of method
used can be found in the Annex, Section 7.
