The "WEB Windenergie GmbH"

The WEB was founded in 1994 by the idealists Erna and Andreas Dangl in order to produce electricity from wind.

In July 1995 the WEB´s first wind turbine was connected to the grid in Michelbach/Lower Austria. It was the first wind turbine to be erected in all of Austria to be owned by many private shareholders. This made the WEB an absolute pioneer in Austria for using wind power.

In the following years the WEB founded many more local shareholder groups which planned, erected and operated wind parks. Probably the most well known WEB project in Austria is the wind park in Vösendorf on the Südautobahn which was erected in co-operation with the company Hartlauer.

WEB Assets and Stocks

In July 1999 the different shareholder groups in Austria where combined to become the WEB Windenergie Aktiengesellschaft.

With the investment of the first project in Germany in October 1997, the WEB began to spread out internationally. 14 WEB wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 12,560 kW have been erected in Germany and 40 more MW are being planned.
