In the first episode, Carola meets VERBUND CEO Michael Strugl as well as Tanja and Christian from VERBUND, who show her Austria’s largest power plant construction site in Kaprun. It quickly becomes clear to the journalist that there is much more behind the term "transition to clean energy" than initially thought.
Note: Public access to the Mooserboden reservoir is provided by bus and inclined lift.
In the second episode, Carola puts her questions to hydropower experts Christian, Nina, and Florian, and meets renaturation expert Barbara. Carola is especially interested in whether hydropower can even be expanded further.
Why do we even need wind and PV systems when we already have so much hydropower? Carola seeks answers to this question in the third episode of our documentary. She also learns how citizens can participate in new wind and PV projects.
In the fourth episode, Carola learns everything about the transport and distribution of electricity. The journalist visits the control centre of the Austrian Power Grid (APG) to find out why grid expansion is so essential to the transition to clean energy and what role storage technologies play.
What energy solutions are available for households? And how can companies and industry contribute to a decarbonised energy system? That's what Carola explores in episode five. She also learns how green hydrogen can help reduce CO2 emissions.
For Carola, it all started at the beginning of the year when she decided to find out what the transition to clean energy in Austria really looks like. During this journey, she spoke with numerous experts and gained insight into what is needed for the energy system of the future. The motivation and enthusiasm of the people who work on the transition to clean energy every day impressed Carola the most.
