has set binding climate and energy targets for 2030: reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40%, increasing energy efficiency by at least 32.5%, increasing the share of renewable energy to at least 32% of EU energy use and guaranteeing at least 15% electricity inter-connection levels between neighbouring Member States.
EIB, Erste Bank co-finance Puspok''s agri-PV, BESS projects in Austria
The project includes the installation of a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 4.1 MW/8.6 MWh. Construction of the plants, at sites in Nickelsdorf, Parndorf, Gattendorf and Monchhof, is expected to wrap up by mid-2026. Once in operation, they will run under Austria''s feed-in premium schemes, the EIB said. (EUR 1.0 = USD 1.052)

Renewable Energy Directive (RED III)
Integration of the energy system is central to achievement of the EU''s climate protection targets. The proposed directive for the use of energy from renewable sources (RED III) sets out cross-sector targets and measures designed to capitalise effectively on the potential of cost-effective renewables in all sectors of the energy system.
State aid: Commission approves Austrian scheme to support
The Commission found that the aid is necessary to further develop energy generation from renewable sources and help Austria achieve its environmental targets. It also has an incentive effect, as current electricity prices do not fully cover the costs of generating electricity from renewable energy sources.

Renewable energy sources. Austria is a pioneer in the use of renewable energy sources compared internationally. For example, more than 75 percent of electricity is already currently generated from renewable energy sources. This
Austria: Energy Country Profile
Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings. Austria: Energy intensity: how much energy does it use
Renewable energy in Austria
27 % of the total energy consumption in Austria is supplied by renewable energy sources (e.g., hydropower, biomass, solar energy), whereby biomass sources such as fuelwood, wood chips, bark, sawdust, straw or biogas make up nearly half of this amount. Every year in Austria, renewable energy sources provide a total of 312 PJ.
Electricity from renewable energy sources
In Austria, electricity is primarily generated and offered from hydropower, wind power, biomass, solar energy or spent liquor from paper and pulp production. Basically, any form of electricity generation entails various negative implications on humans and the environment – for example emissions from air pollutants and greenhouse gases, solid
