Austria runs one of Europe's cleanest electricity systems — hydropower covered 60–65% of generation in 2024, with the rest spread across wind (~10%), gas (~13%), biomass and rapidly-growing solar. Austrian Power Grid (APG), the national TSO, manages a single bidding zone tightly coupled to Germany via the synchronous Continental European grid. Day-ahead trading clears on EXAA in Vienna and EPEX SPOT, with results published just after midday CET.

Austria is a structural importer in winter when river flows drop and a net exporter in spring snowmelt. The Mur, Drau, Inn and Danube valleys host the bulk of run-of-river hydro; the Tauern range adds large pumped storage.

Coal-fired generation ended in 2020, and the government targets 100% renewable electricity by 2030 — a goal that requires roughly 27 TWh of new wind, solar and hydro capacity over the decade.
