Description

The energy supply in Austria was first established in the1880s with regenerative microgrids for industries and publicbuildings. These were unified and modernized step by step toform what is now one of the most reliable power supply systemsin the world. A large share of more than half of the powerproduction comes from hydro power stations, many of whichalso provide pump storage. Since the 1950s, previously wastedheat from fired power stations has been distributed to denseurban areas via district heating. Oil price crises, rising awarenessfor environmental issues, and increasing availability ofincinerable waste have led to a diversification of fuel andinclusion of geothermal heat and waste heat from industrialprocesses.
