Erwin Proell, the governor of Lower Austria (the largest of Austria's 9 states, with a population of 1.6 million) announced on Thursday that his state now gets 100% of its electricity from renewable sources (63% hydroelectric, 26% wind, 9% biomass and 2% solar).
"Since 2002 we have invested 2.8 billion euros ($3bn) in eco-electricity, from solar parks to renewing (hydroelectric) stations on the Danube," Proell told a news conference.

Indeed at the web site of the power company operating that plant [www.evn.at] [in German] it also looks as if the power plant is still operational. One would expect that the company would be the first to know when their power plant is switched off.

Strange. I just clicked on the link in my comment, and got the page again.
However I notice that there's a link to an English version of the page that doesn't work. So maybe it's an effect of automatic language selection with no English page available?
The pages seem to do explicit language selection with GET options, so maybe the following link works for you:
