ABOUT US
We develop wind energy projects with our intersectoral expert knowledge and over 20 years of experience. Learn more about our structured and comprehensive development process for wind energy projects. The picture below shows the most important stages ranging from the initial idea to a more sustainable electricity production.
Each project starts with a careful selection process for potential sites and a detailed analysis of its estimated wind velocities. This is followed by a detailed planning phase including all relevant expert’s reports. Following the official approval of the project which includes the environmental impact assessment (EIA), we start with the implementation and the installation of the infrastructure. After the construction of the wind park is completed, the site goes into operation supplying the Austrian power grid reliably with sustainable energy for the following decades.
The process flow-chart helps in understanding the individual steps and how ContourGlobal ensures that each project is in compliance with highest standards.
ContourGlobal currently plays an active role in fostering the expansion of wind energy in Austria. There is a particular focus on those federal provinces that have not widely prioritized wind energy to date but would now like to place their focus on wind energy.
When selecting sites for our wind parks, we place a strong emphasis on close collaboration and participation of the local community. We want to ensure that our projects are supported and fostered by the local community. For this reason, we pay close attention to the needs and concerns of the local residents. We ensure that our wind parks fit into the existing landscape and provide our expertise and professionalism for a thorough due diligence process. The most important factor for us are the people that are involved in the project and that benefit from it. Only through close collaboration we are able to ensure that our projects are beneficial for the environment as well as the local community.
