An Austrian province that generates electricity from renewable energy

ArabiaWeather.com - Lower Austria Governor Erwin Brühl said that the province was able to generate 100% of its electricity from renewable energy sources, and that huge investments have been made to support the generation of electricity from environmentally friendly renewable energy and the renewal of hydroelectric stations on the Danube River.

More than 1.6 million people live in the province in northeastern Austria, and it gets 63% of its electricity from hydropower, while extracting 26% from wind energy and providing 9% from biomass and 2% from solar energy.

It is worth noting that 75% of electricity comes from renewable energy sources, and the rest comes from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas.

It is noteworthy that Austria had previously voted against nuclear power in a referendum in 1978.
