Despite the remarkable achievements in the past two years, Austria has only installed 30% of the necessary photovoltaic power to achieve 100% renewable power supply by 2030 (21 GW).
Depending on the electricity demand in 2030 and available demand-side flexibilities and storage capacity, the optimum for PV can vary. The potential in Austria is huge.
The nation has set an ambitious goal of sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewables by 2030, and solar power is set to play a pivotal role in meeting this target. These changes to
Solar power in Austria contributes 8.82 TWh of generation to the Austrian grid, accounting for 11.2% of total electric power generation as of 2024, with 8.48 GW of
Renewable energies are the economic engine of the future worldwide. Here you can find selected data on Austria''s renewable energy sector.
Austria aims to achieve a 100% renewable electricity production by 2030 with 1,000,000 homes having solar panels fitted by that date. 11 TWh of extra photovoltaics will be needed above 2021 levels.
The Austria solar energy market size for PV reached 9.90 GW and is on course for a 6.02% CAGR, underpinned by bifacial modules that already power 25–30% of new utility plants.
In 2024, Austria achieved another year of record photovoltaic (PV) deployment, adding 2.51 GW of new capacity and bringing cumulative installations to 9.4 GW (DC). PV generation reached approximately
Solar PV accounted for 19% of Austria''s total installed power generation capacity and 8% of total power generation in 2023.
