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.
Targeting 100% renewable electricity Austria has set itself the target of meeting 100% of its annual electricity needs from renewable energy sources by 2030. To achieve this, an additional 27 terawatt hours (TWh) of power will have to be generated from renewables.
Taking wind, biomass and solar into account, renewable power generation rises to more than three-quarters of the country's total electricity production. Austria's last coal-fired power plant closed back in 2020.
