“Electricity that is generated in Burgenland should also be used in Burgenland. For me, this is the most sensible and sustainable form of renewable energy use,” said Governor Hans Peter Doskozil on the occasion of the presentation of a new cooperation between Burgenland Energie and the Austrian start-up salt current, with the memory on a salt-ion base. The governor further emphasized that Burgenland is pursuing the clear strategy of becoming climate -neutral and energy -independent by 2030. “We are expanding the wind power and the solar power intensively. We will have hours when we have too much electricity and hours when we have too little electricity. We will compensate for this compensation- in the household area, in the division and in the large wind and photovoltaic parks.”
Stephan Sharma, CEO of Burgenland Energie, explains that big steps have been taken in the energy sector in recent years. “We have increased in Burgenland in the past five years in the energy independence of 50 percent to 72 percent. Burgenland Energie is number 1 in the wind power generation and number 1 in the production of photovoltaic power. Now we start the third phase for the full energy independence of Burgenland after wind and photovoltaics.”
Burgenland Energie starts with the construction of around 500 megawatt hours of large memory
In 2025/26, Burgenland Energie will build conventional large storage with a volume of 500 megawatt hours at eight locations and invests around 100 million euros in Burgenland. “We will build the currently largest battery storage projects in Austria with a storage volume of around 340 megawatt hours. In Schattendorf, we are testing the world’s first large -scale storage tank on a carbon basis,” said Sharma.
New, environmentally friendly salt storage for end customers saves network costs and levies
“With the cooperation of salt current, we now also have a sustainable, environmentally friendly electricity storage solution on sodium or salt base for households and trade,” said Stephan Sharma. “We are expanding our partnership in the area of sustainable storage solutions.” The memory can now be ordered on the Burgenland Energy homepage and can be used for both new systems and in existing systems.
“The entire energy policy of the Burgenland is aimed at making the Burgenland independent and thus having the pricing in the long term. Photovoltaic systems in combination with memory are the answer to the additional network costs planned by the Federal Government. Anyone who invests in the memory saves network costs and taxes and increases self-use,” says Governor Doskozil.
As usual, Burgenland Energie offers the memory in a “everything from a single source” solution. In the subscription price, the memory is available from 59 euros per month without financing costs. In Burgenland, the expansion of the memory is supported with its own funding. “100 salt stores are immediately available. The first salt storage facility Burgenland will be built in the municipal office of Apetlon with a storage volume of around 20 kWh in August,” said Sharma.
“As technology partners, we sell and develop safe, sustainable storage solutions in the event of salt current. The storage technology convinces with particularly robust battery cells and a long service life – and on the basis of salt, one of the most common elements of our planet,” explains Peter Arnold, CEO and co -founder of salt current in particular responsible for the areas of technology and development in salt flow.
Jürgen Ellensohn, co -founder of Salzstrom and as managing director responsible for sales and marketing: “Salt batteries mark the beginning of a new era of sustainable energy storage. Together with Burgenland Energy as a strong, innovative partner, we want to inspire all of Burgenland for this future -oriented technology and already provide access to this future technology.”
The SalzSissi complete package including inverter, assembly and installation through a reliable Burgenland specialist company can now be ordered on the Burgenland Energy website and can be used for both new systems and in existing systems.
