Technical FAQs 4

Why is Austria boosting its solar power capacity?

Moreover, the maximum subsidy for electrical storage systems has been raised from €25,000 to €50,000, reflecting a commitment to bolstering the infrastructure necessary for sustainable energy storage. Austria’s solar power capacity has been on a steady upward trajectory, buoyed by supportive government policies and declining technology costs.

How much does a photovoltaic battery storage system cost in Austria?

The total inventory of photovoltaic battery storage systems in Austria therefore rose to 11,908 storage systems with a cumulative usable storage capacity of approx. 121 MWh. For 2020, a price of around € 914 per kWh of usable storage capacity excl. VAT was charged for PV storage systems installed as turnkey solutions.

What is Austria's solar power capacity?

Austria’s solar power capacity has been on a steady upward trajectory, buoyed by supportive government policies and declining technology costs. As of the end of 2023, Austria’s solar power capacity had reached 3,667 MW, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

Is Austria poised for a significant transformation in solar energy?

Austria’s solar energy sector is poised for a significant transformation as the government updates its subsidy guidelines to incentivize more power purchase agreements (PPAs) for solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.
