Austria

Overall assessment

Under the 2021-2027 Cohesion Funding period there is an Operational Program that combines funds from the European Regional Development Fund, and the Just Transition Fund, focused largely on growth and employment.

There is no specific funding earmarked for energy communities in the plan. There is a single reference in the document (p103), linking energy communities to energy efficiency and building renovations, albeit with no details on the measures that will be implemented, or an expected timeline.
