Vienna energy transition: green electricity revolution with 52 new wind turbines!
Vienna is taking another step towards a sustainable energy future. Leadersnet reports that Wien Energie recently completed the complete takeover of “ImWind”, which should make a significant contribution to reducing dependence on fossil gas. The acquisition was approved by the competition authority and allows Wien Energie to significantly expand its green electricity portfolio.
With 52 new wind turbines and four large-scale photovoltaic systems, the city will make significant progress towards its ambitious renewable energy goals. By 2030, Vienna plans to double its renewable output to up to 1,800 megawatts at around 200 locations, with the aim of supplying all Viennese households with green electricity. Mayor Michael Ludwig underlines the importance of these measures in order to make Vienna independent of fossil fuels.
Jobs and investments
Investments in renewable energies are not only a contribution to environmental protection, but also an economic factor: In the last five years, these projects have secured over 10,000 jobs. Leadersnet reports that the city of Vienna already operates 526 photovoltaic systems, 26 hydroelectric power plants and 145 wind turbines and has thus achieved a total output of 800 megawatts. This output is expected to increase to 1,000 megawatts by 2026.
Solar power output has increased more than fivefold in less than five years and energy consumption per capita in Vienna has been reduced to 1993 levels. Notable future projects include the construction of new wind farms and a small hydroelectric power plant in Oppenberg, showing that the city's energy transition ambitions are far from standing still.
