Moreover, the maximum subsidy for electrical storage systems has been raised from €25,000 to €50,000, reflecting a commitment to bolstering the infrastructure necessary for sustainable energy storage.

Overview The main legal source for Austrian energy policy is the Federal Electricity Management and Organisation Act 2010 (Electricity Act 2010) (Elektrizitätswirtschafts- und organisationsgesetz 2010). This aims to provide regulations for an equal, fair, consumer friendly and transparent energy market.
Energy in Austria describes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in Austria. Austria is very reliant on hydro as an energy source, supported by imported oil and natural gas supplies. It is planned by 2030 to become 100% electricity supplied by renewable sources, primarily hydro, wind and solar. [citation needed]
Net electricity consumption in Austria totalled around 69.258TWh in 2012, an increase of 1% in comparison to 2011. Austria has implemented the “balance group model”, a virtual group of suppliers and customers within which electrical energy procured and supplied is balanced.
