The science of renewable-energy industry and environmental-science have a significant role in Burgenland's journey towards reshaping its energy sector, as evidenced by the Neusiedl-Weiden wind project partnership with Vestas and the aim to boost renewable energy production.

In Burgenland, the financial aspect also plays a crucial role, as a large percentage of inhabitants are interested in generating their own power through green energy sources like solar panels due to their property ownership.

As Burgenland pursues energy independence under Governor Hans Peter Doskozil's vision for 2030, the involvement of municipalities, communities, and the finance sector in renewable energy initiatives will be essential.
