With full eco-energy

Solar power makes a wide country shine

The head of the province is always happy when the sun shines from the sky. A photovoltaic system at Palais Niederösterreich makes it shine even brighter.

Our homeland is the country with the largest photovoltaic expansion in the whole of Austria. With the new system on the roof of the Palais, we are taking a significant step towards the energy transition far beyond the borders of our province," explains Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner. Her ecological pride is well justified, as the green electricity from the sky will be used entirely to supply the Lower Austrian embassy in the heart of Vienna. Impressive technical cornerstones: 290 modules, four inverters and an impressive output of 110kWp!

State also relies on LEDs
Clean power generation is also buzzing in the administrative buildings of the provincial government in St. Pölten. "This summer, we converted 11,000 lights in various areas of the building to LEDs. The annual energy saving amounts to around 250,000 kilowatt hours and reduces annual CO₂ emissions by around 54.8 tons per year," assures Mikl-Leitner.

This apparently also spurs on Stephan Landesvize Pernkopf and Wiener Neustadt's mayor Klaus Schneeberger. Their eco-offensive: 111 parking spaces covering an area of 1,400 square meters are being roofed over with photovoltaic systems in front of Aqua Nova, the adventure pool of the all-time faithful. The parking spaces will have a sensible dual use. This is because we save valuable land resources and can offer protection from heat and rainfall.
