This is a confirmed deal (<a href="http://www.doris.eu/google/)" rel="nofollow">http://www.doris.eu/google/)</a> and might just be another door opener for something larger.

While the village is very small near the big town of Linz, Austrian bloggers are speculating that this step would make sense, because, there is a water powerstation nearby and also two other powerstations generating more the 300 MegaWatts in total.
