Theresienfeld: national champion in the green electricity growth-new PV systems in focus!

Intersal news from Theresienfeld: The small community in Lower Austria secured the title of the national champion in the increase in photovoltaics (PV) performance per inhabitant in 2024. According to the energy and environmental agency (EnU), this award was presented at a celebration in Inzersdorf by governor Stephan Pernkopf and Mayor Ingrid Klauninger. With 294 newly installed PV systems, Theresienfeld can refer to an impressive total output of 4,363 kWP per inhabitant, which means an increase of 3,463 watts per person. These services make the municipality as the leader in the district and far beyond how oekonews.at reports.

But what is really done here? The success of Theresienfeld comes against the background of a truly impressive trend in Lower Austria. A total of 28,000 new PV systems were installed last year, and the region has already produced over a quarter of the entire solar power in Austria. A total of around 143,000 photovoltaic systems in Lower Austria are now active, which provide clean electricity for about nine of ten households, such as noen.at illustrated.

In addition to the nationwide award, there were also personal honors for outstanding companies. The award winners include:

• Wurzer’s Agri-PV system in Bodensdorf: 4,764 Bifaciale modules generate 1.7 million kWh annually and provide 570 households.

Lower Austria's pioneering role

The developments in Theresienfeld fit into the large picture of renewable energies in Austria. The proportion of renewable energies in the gross-end energy consumption is to be increased to 46-50% by 2030, with the aim of being climate-neutral by 2050, without nuclear energy. Current statistics already show an overwhelming proportion of over 87% renewable energies in primary energy production in 2023. The leadership in electricity generation with a share of around 75% prove the continuously increasing values ​​of hydropower and photovoltaics, according to the assessments of statista.com.

The impressive services of Theresienfeld and other municipalities in Lower Austria show that the path to a sustainable and climate -friendly energy future has already been paved. If the country continues to go, there could soon be more positive news. We are excited to see how things will develop!
