The turbines of the wind park at Petronell-Carnuntum have been under the management of VERBUND since 2009. On average, the wind park has an annual capacity of 22 MW and can supply nearly 9,500 households with green electricity. A showcase for regional, climate-friendly electricity generation.
Experience wind power
What started in 2000 with the Bruck an der Leitha wind farm is now a showcase model for regional, climate-friendly electricity generation. The special feature of the Bruck an der Leitha wind farm is a wind turbine with an observation platform. Experience the power of the wind up close and personal. Our guides climb the 60-metre-high internal spiral staircase with you. After 279 steps, you reach the top and can watch the turbine blades in the all-round glazed platform turning wind power into a rotary motion to generate electricity.

Ecology & environmental protection
Together with all other VERBUND wind farms in Austria, the wind power plant has been ISO 14001 certified since 2014.
An environmental impact assessment was carried out for the construction of the Petronell-Carnuntum wind farm in 2004. In the course of this, an ornithological monitoring of the local bird life was ordered. In addition, an offset habitat was created, especially for the endangered little owl and other birds of prey and songbirds, which is part of the 2-year monitoring programme.
Guided tours of the Bruck an der Leitha wind farm provide interesting facts and information about wind power.
