The projected wind park Pischelsdorf will be located on areas of the communities Goetzendorf and Pischelsdorf. The wind park is planned compactly on an agriculturally used area. Originally the concept contained 24 wind turbines, but due to nature conservation considerations the amount has been reduced to 16 wind turbines.

A valid, adequate designation of areas "Grassland wind energy plant" is substantial for the construction of a wind energy plant. For the wind park Pischelsdorf the required designation of areas for 16 wind energy plants became legally binding at Oct. 16th, 2004. All district council decisions were decided unanimously. A 61% accepted referendum preceded the rededication application at the provincial government of Lower Austria.
Wind park referendum with high acceptance
(July 11th, 2004)
The district council decided to carry out a referendum before applying for a rededication necessary for assembling the wind energy plants. After a very intense road show lasting several weeks an overwhelming majority of 61% voted for a realisation of the wind park at July 11th, 2004 with an extraordinary voter participation of 64%. Very delightful was a general acceptance in every electoral constituency of at least 57%, showing a broad acceptance in all districts.
