The wind power industry is ready to make their contribution to economic crisis times as a regional force for added value, employment and domestic investments. However, companies are currently being prevented from investing: Current measures of the government threaten defined expansion goals – with noticeable consequences for the location and regions.
We cordially invite you to a press conference in which we shed light on the overall economic potential of the sector – with clear figures on added value, fiscal effects and jobs.
At the same time, we show which political hurdles the future industry are currently massive or what it takes to secure and strengthen the “power of the regions”.
As a conversation partner: Inside you are available:
- Stefanie Mark, Member of the board, Web Windenergie AG
- Christian Helmenstein, Chief economist Industrial Association (IV), Managing Director Economica
- Florian Maringer, Managing Director, IG Windkraft
Media representatives: Interior are cordially invited to this date.
To accredit under presse@igwindkraft.at is asked.
About the IG wind power
IG Windkraft is the advocacy of the entire Austrian wind industry. Operators of around 95 percent of the wind power installed in Austria are a member of the association. The Austrian wind energy industry now employs around 7,900 people and is internationally active in both energy generation and the supplier industry. The domestic wind power industry generated total sales of EUR 1.74 billion in 2023 and is therefore a strong engine for the domestic economy.
