Vienna Energy enthusiastic: International delegations explore Spittelau!

Spittelau, Wien, Österreich - The Wash Control system Spittelau in Vienna, which was put into operation in 1971 and was artistically designed by the famous artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, has developed into an important attraction. In 2024, Vienna Energie recorded a total of 81 international delegations, which found out about the innovative concepts of energy production and the principles of the circular economy. These visits, including political decision -makers, underline the increasing interest in Vienna's path to sustainable energy supply. The City Councilor Peter Hanke (SPÖ) praised this impressive balance sheet, which reflects the efforts to protect climate protection and modern energy technologies, as ORF Vienna reports .

The Spittelau system, which has a total output of 460 MW, is the second largest district heating generator in the city and supplies over 60,000 households with heat. Daily there are up to 2,000 kilograms of residual waste in the combustion to generate electricity for around 30,000 households. Special technical features include modern flue gas cleaning systems that were installed in 1986 and 1989. These advanced systems ensure that emissions are minimized in the air, which is of crucial importance for the environment, as wikipedia reports . The Jewish financing structure and technical creativity represent a harmonious combination and make the Spittelau system a forward model for thermal waste recycling.

From autumn 2025, the facility already known as an “experience world” will be expanded and is intended to increase the demand for timely information with new digital technologies and create an interactive experience for visitors. These developments at one of the central locations of Viennese energy supply show how important it is to integrate both innovative approaches in the field of energy production as well as aesthetic and cultural aspects in a city like Vienna.
