Drive forward PV expansion

In addition to wind and hydro power, solar energy is an important source for the generation of renewable electricity. Recently, PV production in Austria has increased significantly, currently Austria is above the target path from the Renewable Expansion Act. It is important for the achievement of the 2030 targets that the expansion continues.

The Citizens' Climate Council demanded a switch to 100% renewable electricity by the year 2030 in 2022. This goal is also anchored in the Renewable Expansion Act.

Drive forward the expansion of renewables

• In order to cover 100% of the increasing domestic electricity consumption (nationally on balance) with renewable sources, the Federal Government is focusing on the expansion of domestic energy carriers (PV, Wind, Hydropower, Biomass).

Forderungen des Klimarats der Bürger:innen 2022 auto-translated using AI

Expand nationwide emission-free energy with the goal of 100 percent supply from renewable energy

Emission-free energy supply should be expanded nationwide and statewide. Access must be affordable for all parts of the population.

Electricity:
95 percent renewable by 2027
100 percent renewable by 2030
Solar and wind power should preferably be used for this. Hydropower should only be expanded if it makes sense. Energy communities (also across regions) should continue to be promoted.
