After twelve years of planning a new electric wind turbine was installed in Carinthia. At its start on Ploecken pass the increase of Carinthian wind electricity capacity for 160 percents was celebrated. The new turbine is attractive also because of its artistic design.
The first wind turbine in Carinthia started to operate in the year 1997. Today, 20 years later, the total capacity of wind electricity has increased to 0,8 MW. Together both turbines produce about 1,3 MW of power, what is sufficient for approximately 700 households.
In the same time, as in Carinthia one wind turbine was installed, in the other Austrian states 700 turbines were installed with a total capacity of 2.000 MW.
