About Austria
In April 2020, Austria shut down its last coal plant in the state of Styria. Austria is coal free and has no coal plants under construction or in planning stages. Austria is one of the foremost producers of hydroelectric power in Europe and relies heavily on it to meet its electricity needs. During the winter, when there is less flowing water for hydroelectric power, domestic electricity demands are supplemented by imports from neighboring countries. The country has been a member of the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) since 2017.
