In Austria, the most important decisions regarding the commissioning of PV systems are the responsibility of the federal states. Even if the national targets are now ambitious - 21 TWh by 2030 and 41 TWh by 2040 - these must now be realised at state level.
The only inverter producer in Austria is Fronius International GmbH. Beside inverters, Fronius offers a wide spectrum of PV-Energy management solutions. SolOcean GmbH is a technology company and deals with the development and marketing of an innovative system for generating electrical energy using photovoltaics on water surfaces.
The energy policy goal in Austria is set with 100% electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2040.
There are currently 16 natural gas power plants in Austria and 3,4 GW power made by pump hydro storages powerplants. E-Control is the regulatory authority in Austria responsible for the electricity and gas industry. The TSO and the larger DSO's are mainly owned by the federal od regional governments.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023.
