- Austria's EUR 150 million investment grants in 2024 will boost renewable energy, with a focus on solar systems. Join the green energy revolution now!
Austria will allocate EUR 150 million in investment grants in 2024 to support the deployment of renewable energy, with the majority of the funding going towards solar photovoltaic systems. Solar systems of various sizes will receive funding based on a tiered system, with a bidding process for larger projects. Additionally, funding will also be allocated for hydropower, biomass, and wind power investments.
The funding will be distributed through three calls in April, June, and October, with the first call running from April 15 to April 29. Austria also provides market premiums to incentivize renewables expansion, with significant funding volumes available for solar energy, wind power, biomass, and hydropower. This aims to provide a stable investment framework for companies in the long term and help Austria continue to expand its green electricity production.
Climate protection minister Leonore Gewessler highlighted Austria's progress in expanding green electricity, with 85% of electricity consumption already covered by renewables in 2024. This marks a significant increase from previous years and demonstrates Austria's commitment to transitioning towards a more sustainable energy system.
