The production coming from solar and wind power experience a quick growth since 2011 with more than doubling the feed in the last past 4 years. Gas represents the second main used source of electricity with a range of 10–15% of the part of the production mix in Austria. Following the general economic contraction from 2012 to 2014 fossil fuels underwent a slow decrease with a particular rebound in 2015 for gas.
