So much we have not hit the millions, yet had to see that it was possible in all. It can go to the existence, claimed Handling Director Florian Stern of DPA. This would certainly have to apply to the entire entertainment industry if there are cuts in Oberstdorf and also other sports facilities in the occasion of a significant shortage of power.

For the topping of 1800 square meters, around 600,000 kilowatt hrs are required yearly. Relying on the place and also age of the hall, power expenses have boosted by a variable of 2 to four.
