The current energy targets of the old plan are hardly achievable. Energy duo calls for bolder and more radical moves.
No more fossil or even nuclear energy in Carinthia by 2025 – Carinthia set itself this ambitious goal in 2014 with the “eMAP 2025” energy master plan. So only two more years to complete the energy transition. But in reality we are still a long way away. This is also the result of the country’s own climate study. In purely mathematical terms, we cover our electricity needs completely CO2-neutrally, but in winter we have to import an electricity mix. When it comes to heating, Carinthia is even worse – we managed 58.8 percent in total energy consumption. There is still a lot missing. That is why energy pioneer Franz Dorner and energy expert Bernhard Reinitzhuber called for a reassessment. The new energy master plan “2026 plus” was presented at the Klagenfurt trade fair. The requirements: The plan must cover the entire energy transition, including the key technologies of heat pumps and hydrogen, which were not yet taken into account at the time. “The future energy system must ensure the supply of renewable energy not only on an annual basis, but at all times, and the plan should take more energy space planning into account, bringing energy consumers and producers together locally. It needs the right energy mix of hydroelectric power, photovoltaics and wind,” says Dorner.
