Recording from Tuesday, October 13, 2026 | AgriVoltaics Industry Forum Europe | Language: English | Duration: 18:20 .
Klemens Neubauer from RWA Solar Solutions describes a project developing a photovoltaic (PV) plant in Austria for the Austrian Federal Railway Company (ÖBB). The plant features 18.6 megawatt peak capacity and utilizes a unique frequency of 16.7 hertz for the railway grid. The project includes sheep grazing and organic chicken farming, utilizing about 18 hectares of land. Securing permissions involved challenges related to infrastructure and utilities. The sheep are of the calm Tefrum breed that efficiently forage on grass. Chickens are raised in a cyclic manner following organic standards. The project not only generates energy but also contributes to reduced CO2 emissions, equating to saving distance for ÖBB services from Vienna to Linz.
