Austria is very reliant on Hydro power, which normally peaks as snow melts during spring (i.e. April). It will be interesting as climate change shifts the timing and flow of water in the country, but positive to see a growing hydro and wind build-out too.

While this is true, Austria has, for the first time ever, built more than 1GW of PV in 2022 and more than 2GW of PV in 2023. As a result 98%+ of electricity production have been renewable in April and this also holds true for Mai so far. All in all, good news.
