Abstract

According to the European Commission's White Paper on Renewable Energy, the share of renewable energy sources in Europe is to be doubled by 2010, from 6% to 12%. Thanks to committed policies in the Austrian province of Styria, the share of renewables in the Hartberg district already figures 26%. The project for a regional energy action plan for the Hartberg district shall lay the foundation for increasing this share significantly.
