Vienna-based Austrian Power Grid AG is Austria's transmission grid operator. The high-voltage electricity grid in Austria comprises three voltage levels – 380 kV with the 380-kV high-voltage ring, 220 kV and 110 kV – in addition to several substations and grid control systems. Facts:
The different network levels are connected via substations. Around 75% of Austria's electricity comes from renewable energy sources. Although hydropower has traditionally been the most important source of energy in Austria, wind and solar power have been heavily developed in recent years.
Austria's leading electricity company operates around 130 hydro power plants, including highly efficient storage power plants in the Austrian Alps and run-of-river power plants on all the country's major rivers. At 33.8% (2023), transport is the economic sector with the largest consumption of energy in Austria.
Austria has a highly reliable electricity supply network – thanks mainly to a diversified mix of energy sources which ensures that generating capacity can be put to optimum use at any time. This section of our website tells you everything you need to know about the Austrian electricity system.
