Published: 2024-10-18

Burgenland is setting a benchmark in renewable energy in Austria, with significant contributions from its wind turbines and innovative local projects.

In Limbach, a bio-district heating system celebrates 20 years of success, utilizing local biomass and solar power to save millions of liters of heating oil.

Meanwhile, the "Fanclub Burgenland Energieunabhängig" offers residents a unique energy community model, providing electricity at a fixed rate of 10 cents per kWh for 20 years.

This initiative, unprecedented in Europe, aims to enhance energy independence and sustainability.

Additionally, the "Wärmewende Eisenstadt" project is paving the way for a fossil-free future by replacing traditional heating systems with sustainable solutions.

These efforts are part of Burgenland's ambitious strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2030, showcasing the region's commitment to innovative and sustainable energy solutions.
