What role does pumped storage play in Austria's future electricity market?
Austria’s pumped storage will play an increasingly important role in the future electricity market in Austria, but also for the further integration of the European market, by providing needed storage and flexible dispatch to accommodate the growing share of variable renewable generation into the Austrian and European electricity systems.
What is the projected capacity of storage in ?
Looking forward to , overall growth is expected to be 37%, with an installed capacity of 1.1 GWh. of this, household storage is projected to be installed at 670 MWh, a small increase, accounting for 61% of the total. Commercial and industrial storage 280 MWh, steady growth.
Are there any solar storage subsidy programs?
Last year, there were two major solar storage subsidy programs: KLIEN and ÖMAG. ÖMAG subsidized 31,000 energy storage systems at a rate of 200 EUR/kWh. Since ÖMAG’s funding was expected to run out in , KLIEN was introduced as a supplement to ÖMAG.
