Summary sheet
Construction and operation of 5 wind turbines in Lower Austria and Burgenland, respectively, totaling 17MW.
The development of wind energy supports EU and national targets for renewable energy generation and contributes to the Bank's renewable energy and energy efficiency objectives. The project further contributes to the Bank's priority objectives for climate action.
Wind farms generally fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU. Their authorisation is subject to an EIA following the criteria set by the competent authority. Some turbines are located close to sites of nature conservation interest and also close to other wind farms. Potential impact on sites of nature conservation interest, including cumulative impacts, will be analysed carefully.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU directives on procurement.
