The Austria Energy Group

What The Austria Energy Group does

The Austria Energy Group (AustriaEnergy) is a Vienna-based renewable energy project developer founded in 2006. It originates, develops, finances, and operates utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) and wind power plants, with a developed portfolio of approximately 1,000 MW across Europe (notably Italy and Spain) and Latin America (notably Chile). The current operational footprint includes 303 MWp of PV capacity in Chile with an additional 451 MWp under construction, alongside operational wind farms in Italy.

The company's flagship initiative is the HNH Green Energy project in Chile's Magallanes region — described as one of the world's largest green hydrogen and green ammonia projects at approximately 1,830 MWp of renewable energy capacity, with an estimated USD 11 billion total investment and a first-production target of 2029. AustriaEnergy's customer base includes large institutional investors, utilities, and strategic buyers such as CCE, SOJITZ, and OPDE. The company is privately held, employs 11–50 staff, and is led by Managing Director Helmut Kantner. Strategic partnerships include Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (on HNH) and Ökowind EE GmbH.

Revenue is generated through project development fees, the sale of developed assets to institutional and strategic buyers, and asset management services for operational projects. The company financed part of its pipeline with a EUR 25 million Green Bond (2023/2028) and has announced plans to expand into Colombia via a new subsidiary office, positioning the company across both electricity generation and the emerging green hydrogen/ammonia value chain.
