Ground-breaking ceremony for Obernberg am Inn ground-mounted photovoltaic plant
Renewable energy with solar power for the region
This afternoon, June 17, 2025, the official go-ahead for the photovoltaic system in Obernberg am Inn was given together with the mayor of the municipality of Obernberg am Inn, the head of office and the planning engineering firm METAPLAN ENERGIETECHNIK GMBH from Leonding.
With this further ground-mounted PV system, we are once again taking a sensible and necessary step towards a sustainable energy supply. By using existing company building land, we have explicitly refrained from building on green spaces and are thus also creating added value in the region by reducing the amount of unused land.
“The plant generates around 6.5 GWh of electricity per year and can therefore supply around 1,800 households with clean, locally generated solar power,” says AEP H2 GmbH CEO Gerald Wirtl. There are numerous other projects of over 30 MW in the pipeline that are to be implemented in the coming months.
Being able to realize a project of this magnitude in Upper Austria fills us with great joy and pride. As a PV planning and installation company based in Linz, it is our declared aim to play an active role in shaping the energy transition – sustainably, regionally and with an eye to the future.
Especially in times of increasing energy demand and necessary climate protection measures, it is particularly important to us to make locally generated solar power available and thus contribute to security of supply and energy independence in the region.
Many thanks to the Metaplan planning office, with whom we were able to implement this project in partnership and with a great deal of commitment. Such collaborations are an important part of the path to a renewable energy future – step by step, project by project.
CEO, AEP H2 GmbH
Gerald Wirtl
We are proud to be implementing a project of this magnitude in our home region. With an annual electricity generation of around 6.5 GWh, we are not only making a decisive contribution to the energy transition, but also supplying around 1,800 households with clean, locally generated solar power. This is a further step towards a more sustainable and independent energy future for Upper Austria.
Further projects are planned throughout Austria
AEP H2 GmbH has been actively expanding its own photovoltaic systems for many years and will continue to invest heavily in the future of renewable energy. Many new projects are already being planned for hybrid power plants with large battery storage systems in order to relieve the burden on the public grids as an owner-managed company.
In addition to building its own plants, AEP H2 GmbH also supports municipalities, local authorities and companies in the implementation of photovoltaic projects – without any capital expenditure for the customer. Thanks to our tried-and-tested contracting model, we take over the planning, financing, construction and operation of the systems. Customers benefit from sustainably generated electricity at predictable conditions, while we jointly contribute to the energy transition and strengthen regional value creation.
AEP launches new financing model on the market
Projects like this show how important flexible models for implementing PV systems have become – especially in the private sector. In order to give even more people access to clean energy, AEP has developed a new financing model aimed specifically at households: Instead of high initial investments, systems can now be used conveniently via a rental model – including storage and an optional wallbox. This makes sustainable energy affordable and easily accessible for private individuals too.
Anyone interested in an uncomplicated solution for generating their own electricity should take a look at this new model: SoliRent – it’s worth it.
