Summary sheet
The project comprises the implementation and operation of three wind farms in Lower Austria, totalling up to 80 MW.
The development of wind energy supports EU and national targets for renewable energy generation and contributes to the Bank's renewable energy objectives. The project further contributes to the Bank's priority objectives for climate action.
The authorisation of all three wind farms was subject to an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process. Permit amendment processes are ongoing at the time of appraisal. Some turbines are located close to sites of nature conservation and also close to other wind farms.
The European Commission has exempted all contracts which are being awarded to implement electricity generation projects in Austria from the scope of the Utilities Directive. No public procurement is required.
