Vienna has reached its annual solar power target

According to information from the office of Environmental City Councillor Jürgen Czernohorszky (SPÖ) to the APA, the targeted annual solar power goal of 250 MWp (megawatt peak) was exceeded by 58 MWp, bringing the total to 308 MWp. This was made possible by a total of 16,700 solar power systems, which can theoretically supply about 90,000 households with energy.

Vienna aims to further increase solar power production

The city hall is confident that the growth curve will continue to rise. By 2030, a quarter of all Viennese households should be able to be supplied with solar power, as stated in the red-pink government program. According to Czernohorszky, a total capacity of 800 MWp is required for this. This year, around 4,000 PV systems have already been added, he reported. Nearly 60 MWp come directly from city-owned buildings and areas. The expansion is made possible by a combination of subsidies, consulting, simple approval procedures, and partnerships with businesses, it was emphasized. Private individuals, companies, and the city would thus form a "triangle of sustainability," the city councillor highlighted.
