Endless Energy
No energy has more potential than renewable energy
Updated Wind Atlas commissioned by the ESA.
Austrian Wind Atlas 2026
The 2026 Wind Atlas provides a new, high-resolution basis for assessing wind resources in Austria. It shows the long-term average wind speed in a 100 x 100 m grid at heights of 80, 100, 130, and 150 m. The Wind Atlas 2026 is a comprehensive, methodologically enhanced update of the 2011 Austrian Wind Atlas. It thus provides a state-of-the-art basis for comparing regional wind potential and evaluating specific sites.
The 2026 Wind Atlas was developed as part of the GTIF-Austria activities supported by the European Space Agency (ESA).
cooperative research and development projects
IEA Research Cooperation
The goal of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Wind Technology Collaboration Program (Wind TCP) is to stimulate international collaboration in the field of wind energy research and to provide high-quality information and analysis to member states and industry. The focus of the work is on technology development, market introduction, and market and policy instruments.
The Energy Workshop is involved in two tasks here: In Task 52 “Latitude Application of Wind LiDAR” and in Task 54 “Wind Energy in Cold Climates”.
Development of wind power in Southeast Europe
Wind energy in SE Europe
Wind farm locations in Southeastern Europe and especially in the Balkan region offer excellent conditions for wind energy utilization, but also pose a great challenge for wind farm design and wind turbine technology due to extreme wind speeds, turbulence and wind shear.
In this area of tension, the project “SEEWIND – South-East European Wind Energy Exploitation” was carried out in the 6th Framework Program of the European Commission. The R&D project was coordinated by Energiewerkstatt, had a duration of 90 months and a total budget of € 9.6 million.
