VIENNA, June 19 (Reuters) - Austria's government agreed with utility Verbund (VERB.VI) on Sunday to convert a reserve, gas-fired power plant so that it can produce electricity with coal should restricted gas supplies from Russia result in an energy emergency.

The decision, taken by a "small crisis cabinet" led by Chancellor Karl Nehammer, came after neighbouring Germany announced steps to address reduced Russian gas deliveries including increased reliance on coal-fired power plants.
