Analysis
Austria recorded 10.45 terawatt-hours for primary energy from solar in 2025. That is the highest value across all 61 years on record.
That represents a change of up 28.3% on the previous year and up 1,015.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, primary energy from solar in Austria peaked at 10.45 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 0 terawatt-hours, in 1965.
That places Austria 27th out of 77 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
