With over 2GW total solar capacity in 2020, Austria’s solar capacity made up about 10% of the combined renewable energy capacity in that year. The capacity of installed solar energy in Austria is expected to have a compound annual growth rate of over 12% in the years 2022 to 2027. The following three companies are planning to be part of this growth and own large PV portfolios in Austria.
1) CCE Holding GmbH

In Austria, Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Chile, the company has realised projects with a total capacity of over 150MW and still has over 2GW of solar projects in development. With several operational PV solar projects in Austria, the company is significantly contributing to the transition towards renewable energy.
