Technical FAQs 4

How many photovoltaic battery storage systems are there in Austria?

Of these, approx. 94% were built with public funding and 6% without. 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.

What is the goal of electricity generation in Austria?

The Austrian federal government set a goal for itself of generating sufficient electricity in order to cover 100% of total national electricity consumption (national balance) from renewable energy sources by 2030. Power generation is based on the principle that electricity supply must be matched precisely to electricity demand at all times.

Does Austria have a market for energy storage technologies?

A study 1 carried out by the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, AEE INTEC, BEST and ENFOS presents the market development of energy storage technologies in Austria for the first time.

How does Austria get its electricity?

The different network levels are connected via substations. Around 75% of Austria’s electricity comes from renewable energy sources. Although hydropower has traditionally been the most important source of energy in Austria, wind and solar power have been heavily developed in recent years.
