Lots of wind and little precipitation are currently ensuring record figures for wind energy in Styria. An opportunity for the future that the Styrian government should not miss, say operators and experts.

"This was by far the best January we've ever had, and February also seems to be going very well," says Martin Jaksch-Fliegenschnee from the wind energy interest group. Months with plenty of wind and little precipitation have created optimal conditions for the industry this year.
