Innovative AGRI-PV wind system revolutionizes the energy transition in Burgenland

In the Austrian Tadten/Wallern in Burgenland, a groundbreaking AGRI-PV wind system is currently being completed. This innovative system effectively combines agriculture, advanced solar technology and wind power to tackle several challenges of the energy transition. With an area of 180 hectares and a capacity of up to 164 megawatts, it is the largest solar energy project in Austria and the largest wind energy solar combination in Europe.

A central part of this system are the movable solar modules that follow the sun using a tracker system. This flexibility significantly increases efficiency, especially in the morning and evening hours. Compared to rigid models, an overall overall production up to ten percent is achieved - and that on the same area. Even organic chickpeas and organic potatoes grow among the modules, so that agricultural use is retained.

Another innovation is the intelligent combination of solar and wind energy. The system divides the mains connection with a neighboring wind farm, which optimally complements the sun and wind. This leads to better use of the connection and maximizes efficiency.

The showcase project, which started in 2024 and will soon be completed, will probably be delivered to the region from 2025 clean and affordable electricity. It is a crucial step towards a sustainable energy future and shows how the energy transition can be successfully implemented.

The AGRI PV wind system in Austria thus sets an important sign of the green energy future and serves as inspiration for future projects. A milestone in the energy transition that combines innovative technologies and sustainable land use. Further details on this pioneering project can be found at efahrer.chip.de .
