The first small wind turbine has been installed in the Lavanttal photovoltaic village. Experts traveled all the way from Denmark to install it. 

Like in a film, the 48-tonne crane puffed up the narrow mountain road at walking pace: the monster has been ordered to erect Austria's first small wind turbine in the solar energy village in Kamp (1330 meters above sea level). It was built by eco-pioneer and stair builder Franz Dorner (66). With over 4,000 panels for solar power, he has created a solar power empire in the Lavanttal mountain village. "We produce electricity for 580 households, now we also want to harness the power of the wind."

Installation team from Denmark
Sören Jegsen, head of the Danish wind power company, has now installed 1000 giant wind turbines: "We are celebrating our premiere in Austria with the installation of the small wind turbine in Kamp." However, the crane operator and the team from the company "solid wind power" had a lot to do to master the stormy wind: The 1.8-tonne wind turbine nacelle had to be hoisted up the 30-meter-high tower.

The wind made work difficult for the excellent crane operator. But not the fitter, who scrambled up the 30 meters in 30 seconds to assemble the turbine. Dorner and his wife Maria are delighted: "It was a long road to get the permit for our first wind turbine." The blades of the 200,000 euro wind turbine will be installed on Thursday.
