The Green Electricity Act announced in January 2003 remains the major regulatory framework for renewable energy systems and PV. The cap which limited the subsidy for grid-connected PV under the Act to a total of 15 MW has already been reached. To avoid stagnation of the PV sector, some provinces (upper and lower Austria) are now offering a separate investment subsidy of up to 3 700 EUR per kW installed. Austria is also developing its own PV roadmap with support from the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology.
