More information on the promotion of solar energy and site conditions - Solar power subsidies in Austria: the Eco-Power Regulations
The Austrian Eco-Power Act (Österreichisches Ökostromgesetz) exists since 2002 and has been amended several times. The amount of the solar aid tariffs is regulated annually based on the Eco-Power Regulations (Ökostromverordnung).
The applicable legal situation is based on the Act of 2002, the great amendment of 2006 and smaller amendments of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 (1st Amendment of 2008). The last great amendment (2nd Amendment of 2008, parliamentary resolution of July 2008) of the Eco-Power Act was decreed by the National Council on 23 September 2009.
