Solar radiation map of Europe
Austria had 173.8 MW of photovoltaics at the end of 2011, 78 MW of which was installed that year. Most of it is grid connected.[1]
In 2009, the site of Zwentendorf power station became Austria's largest solar power station with an investment of 1.2 million Euro, with the addition of 1000 photovoltaic panels.[2] Zwentendorf was intended to be Austria's first nuclear power plant, but after a vote in 1978 prohibiting nuclear power in Austria, was never completed.[3]
In September, 2011, Austria's largest solar power station, 2 MW, was under construction in the Niedere Tauern mountain range.[4]
