Vienna Airport builds Austria's largest solar plant
The Peninsula
BERLIN: Vienna Airport has started building what will be the largest photovoltaic power plant in Austria, aiming to meet nearly a third of its annual electricity consumption with solar energy, the airport operator said on Thursday.
The plant will generate around 30 million kilowatt hours of solar power each year, equivalent to the annual consumption of 7,000 households or 30% of what Vienna Airport uses in a year.
Renewable power has taken up a record share of global electricity production since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, suggesting a transition away from polluting fossil fuels could accelerate in the coming years.
