Opoura Powers One of Austria’s Largest Hybrid Renewable Projects with GOLDBECK SOLAR
Opoura has been chosen by GOLDBECK SOLAR to deliver the hybrid master power plant controller for the Zurndorf project — one of the largest hybrid renewable setups in Austria to date. The project combines 75 MW of new solar PV with 71 MW of existing wind power, spread across nine parks and three medium-voltage grid connection points.
“This is a technically complex project — with three separate MV grid connection points and nine sub-parks across wind and solar. To succeed and bring it all together, we rely on the good collaboration gained through several projects completed with Opoura and on the scalability of their hybrid power plant controller,” says Christian Klemt, Project Engineer at GOLDBECK SOLAR.
Located in Burgenland near the Hungarian border, the project makes smart use of existing infrastructure by adding new solar generation to grid-connected wind assets. In this way, the hurdle of securing new grid capacity is avoided. However, the hybrid setup adds its own complexity — and that’s where Opoura’s OneView® Hybrid Control Unit comes in. Built for hybrid environments, the platform delivers real-time, unified control across all assets, no matter the mix.
“Hybrid projects like this one represent the essence of our control capabilities and what we see as the future of renewable energy. But projects like these also come with a high degree of complexity. It takes close coordination, deep technical understanding, and strong collaboration to bring everything together. We are proud to support GOLDBECK SOLAR with a scalable control platform tailored to the realities of hybrid setups, and we value the trust built through our ongoing partnership,” says Frank Riemer, Sales Director DACH at Opoura.
With more than 15 projects completed in Austria and over 200 hybrid systems deployed globally, Opoura was chosen for its ability to blend technical depth with unique hands-on experience.
Implementation of the Zurndorf project is scheduled for the second half of 2025.
