Austria solar policy 2025 introduces new subsidies for PV projects with PPAs, boosting solar investments and storage incentives. Discover key updates—read more!
By enabling PV systems with PPAs to receive additional subsidies, the Austrian government is facilitating easier access to financing for developers of new projects. The revised guidelines are part of Austria's broader strategy to transition to a low-carbon economy and achieve its renewable energy targets.
Austria's solar energy sector is poised for a significant transformation as the government updates its subsidy guidelines to incentivize more power purchase agreements (PPAs) for solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.
Previously, the Austrian Climate Protection Ministry had announced the 'Made in Europe' bonus scheme for only solar systems (see Austria Announces Made In Europe Bonus For Solar PV). For this year, the ministry is offering a total of €70 million in funding — at 'legally required minimum level' — for solar PV, hydropower, wind and biomass projects.
Moreover, the maximum subsidy for electrical storage systems has been raised from €25,000 to €50,000, reflecting a commitment to bolstering the infrastructure necessary for sustainable energy storage. Austria's solar power capacity has been on a steady upward trajectory, buoyed by supportive government policies and declining technology costs.
Overview The main legal source for Austrian energy policy is the Federal Electricity Management and Organisation Act 2010 (Electricity Act 2010) (Elektrizitätswirtschafts- und organisationsgesetz 2010). This aims to provide regulations for an equal, fair, consumer friendly and transparent energy market.

The new initiative features plans for 80 GW of 1 MW solar minigrids with accompanying battery energy storage, to be deployed across 80,000 villages, alongside 20 GW of centralized solar power plants.
Cairo, Egypt, June 15, 2025 – IFC today announced an investment to support Egypt's first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS), deepening its partnership with AMEA Power, a leading renewable energy developer in Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and the Government of Egypt to advance the country's clean energy ambitions.
The integration of battery storage with solar PV is a game-changer for Egypt's energy sector, providing reliable and dispatchable renewable energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. It not only meets Egypt's current energy needs but also sets a precedent for future dispatchable hybrid renewable energy projects in the region.”
It takes Egypt's green energy transition to another level by harnessing the power of the sun, not just during the day but also at night, thanks to the combination of solar and battery storage. The project addresses the growing demand for electricity and reduces the need to import expensive fossil fuels.
In a separate announcement, Norway's Scatec said it had signed a 25-year PPA with Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co. (EETC) for a 1 GW solar and 100 MW/200 MWh battery storage hybrid project in Egypt. “This will be the first hybrid solar and battery project in Egypt,” said Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog.
The first project involves a 1 GW solar plant with a 600 MWh BESS in the Benban area. The second project is a 300 MWh BESS at the site of Amea Power's 500 MW Abydos solar array, which is currently under construction. Both projects are in Egypt's Aswan governorate.
Earlier this year, state-owned utility Egyptian Electricity Holding Co. held an expressions-of-interest tender for the design, construction and operation of a 8.2 MW solar plant and 2 MW/4MWh battery energy storage system, which would be built at the site of an existing microgrid in western Egypt.
The latest announcements bring Amea Power's total renewables capacity in Egypt to 2 GW of solar and 900 MWh of BESS. The company claims to have projects in 20 countries, with a pipeline above 6 GW and 1.6 GW currently in operation and under or near construction.
Amman, April 22 (Petra) -- Energy experts have lauded the Cabinet's recent approval of a grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) for the National Electric Power Company's transmission network, calling it a critical step toward enhancing Jordan's energy security and grid stability.
These funds will finance the construction of a new high-voltage electricity substation in northern Jordan in order to improve the grid's capacity, enabling it to handle existing and new generation in the north of the country.
In response to this, Fichtner in collaboration with the Jordanian Ministry of Energy and the transmission system operator, NEPCO, has analyzed the potential for battery energy storage and, in the role of Transaction Advisor, is providing support for implementing a pilot project.
It is the owner and operator of Jordan's transmission system, as well as the single buyer of electricity. Since the start of its operations in Jordan in 2012, the EBRD has invested almost €2.3 billion across 74 projects, providing more than €815 million to projects in the country's energy sector through 14 loans.
In addition to the new substation, four new overhead transmission lines will be constructed: two 400 kV lines providing connections to the existing Samra and Amman West substations, and two 132 kV lines connected to the Hasan Industrial and Jerash substations.

The company esVolta secured $110 million USD in financing in partnership with Greenprint Capital Management to develop the Hummingbird project, a 300 MWh energy storage system designed to strengthen California's power grid.
An energy storage project is a cluster of battery banks (or modules) that are connected to the electrical grid. These battery banks are roughly the same size as a shipping container. These are also called Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), or grid-scale/utility-scale energy storage or battery storage systems.
The project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2025. esVolta, an energy storage project developer, completed a $110 million tax equity transaction with Greenprint Capital Management to develop and construct the 300 MWh Hummingbird battery energy storage project in San Jose, California.

The €100M project, led by Baltic Storage Platform, will deliver some of Europe's largest battery storage complexes with a combined capacity of 200 MW and a total storage capacity of 400 MWh, putting Estonia in the best spot for efficient energy use.
Earlier this year, the Estonian company partnered with Clean energy investment company Niam Infrastructure to build an 84MW solar-plus-storage portfolio in Latvia. The portfolio would be carried out in two phases, with the construction of 40MW of solar PV across six sites in a first phase.
According to Andres Meesak, CEO of Estonia's PV association, Estonia now has around 107 MW of cumulative installed PV capacity. This represents a significant increase from the 17 MW of cumulative capacity at the end of 2017.
The battery energy storage park and its substation will be connected to the electricity transmission network using a 330kV AC underground cable, marking a first in Estonia. Baltic Storage Platform confirmed that the BESS will seek to ensure the stability and resilience of the Estonian electricity grid.
He said on no specific reactor has been chosen yet. The plant is expected to be built by private investors and company Fermi Energia has been at the forefront of Estonia's nuclear power plant discussions. The project is expected to cost €2 billion euros and small modular reactors with a capacity of 300 megawatts are being considered.
