Burgenland energy model: the way to independence and climate protection!
Wien, Österreich - An energy transition is just around the corner! Three new wind farms and ten photovoltaic parks will be built in Burgenland by the end of next year to reduce the dependence on foreign energy deliveries. Stephan Sharma, CEO of Burgenland Energie, emphasized that the Ukraine War disturbs the European energy supply. "Neither Putin nor Trump are reliable partners in energy supply," said Sharma. Instead, the focus should focus on using one's own energy resources. These ambitious projects are financed primarily by a large number of Austrian and German banks as well as the European investment bank, which is also supported by the EU, such as meinburgenland.at reported.
Burgenland as a pioneer in renewable energy
The region is a pioneer in Austria with a share of 50 percent renewable energies in EnergieMix in Burgenland. This means that half of the energy requirement is covered from the sun and wind, while Austria is only around 30 percent on average. The goal is clear: the Burgenland wants to be energy -independent and climate -neutral by 2030. "We want to actively take this path, this path of energy self -sufficient and climate neutrality," said Governor Hans Peter Doskozil. However, the challenge is that 50 percent of the energy requirement still has to be imported, which is a major problem, especially during the energy crisis, reported .The Burgenland pursues innovative approaches to promote switching to renewable energies. In the future, residents should be encouraged to produce their own energy, similar to a subscription - the customer pays a monthly fee and will become the owner of the solar system after a certain term. These new projects could not only bring lower energy prices, but also more independence and climate protection. Thus, the Burgenland could step onto the scene as a model region in the global context and show how to emerge from the energy crisis.
