To achieve the decarbonisation of the electricity sector, a significant amount of renewable energy sources (RES) generation capacity is required to replace the phased-out fossil base load capacities. This process involves electrifying other energy sectors (e.g. transport), which will further increase the electricity demand to be covered by RES.

Decarbonising the electricity sector by 2030. In order to reach carbon neutrality by 2040, the role of electricity in Austria''s energy mix will increase significantly. The NECP sees electricity consumption …
Due to the high share of intermittent renewable energy sources, traditional generators will experience excessive cycling in 2040. The average weighted short-run marginal cost in 2040 is projected to be 7.8 USD/MWh, compared to 18.37 USD/MWh in 2020, due to the low operating costs of renewable energy plants and their high …
The Austrian National Parliament has voted in favour of the country''s new Renewable Expansion Law (EAG). The law sets a 100% renewable electricity …
The law sets a 100% renewable electricity consumption goal by 2030 for Austria – up from 75% right now. For this to become a reality, Austria will need an additional 27 TWh in electricity generation. And 10 TWh of this will have to come from new wind energy capacity. This translates into more than 500 MW of new capacity each year …
Increasing the penetration level (PL) of renewable energy in the distribution power grids has the potential of fulfilling growing energy demands and curtailing fossil fuel usage along with its economic and technical benefits. Nevertheless, the quantity of electricity supplied to customers cannot be permitted to take precedence over its quality. …
Austria has set itself the target to increase the share of electricity produced from renewable energy sources from the current 75 % to 100% in 2030. The measure is one of the targets to be achieved by Austria in the context of its Recovery and Resilience Plan. The Commission''s assessment
