Focus on the energy transition: inspiring salon in Petronell
On September 19, 2025, a lively panel discussion took place at the Kulturhaus Petronell under the motto “Hainburg 84 – time changers and future makers”. The event was hosted by Karin Neckam and Doris Holler-Bruckner from powerful people and oekonews, who created a space for dialog and networking around the topic of the energy transition with their salon format.
Mayor Leonhart Brassat, DI Michael Hannesschläger (Energiepark), Harald Beutl (via donau), Lorenz Hammerschmidt (BLOCH 3) and KEM manager Tina Rigler took part in the panel discussion. Together with the large audience, they discussed current energy projects in the region, the opportunities for energy communities, the expansion of wind power plants and many other issues relating to a sustainable future.
The discussion was characterized by a constructive exchange, new impulses and a clear commitment to drive the energy transition forward together. The evening impressively demonstrated how important regional cooperation and innovative ideas are in actively shaping change.
