Best places for battery storage (BESS) in Austria
How Gridscouter ranks 600+ Austrian substations for battery storage, alongside the country's pumped hydro.
Batteries next to hydro
Austria has a lot of pumped hydro, but fast-growing solar and wind in the east create demand for batteries close to where the power is made.
How we rank
110, 220 and 380 kV substations are scored on voltage, nearby solar and wind, existing storage and grid density.
Where to look
Lower Austria and Burgenland, with dense wind and solar, often score well.
Note
Gridscouter scores are estimates from open map data, not grid operator capacity figures. Confirm connection capacity with the grid operator.
