About 20,000 Upper Austrians are threatened with losses in PV input. Not the customers of “Krone Sonne”: you can relax!
What a debacle for the 20,000 affected Upper Austrians! Many of them now wish they had chosen “Krone Sonne” straight away. Because your regional energy company is terminating your feed-in contracts for your photovoltaic (PV) installations. However, these contracts so far guarantee them at least 15.73 cents per kWh. A new rate could yield significantly less. For example, for April this would have been 3.12 cents.
In Upper Austria, peak power consumption is currently 1.8 gigawatts. The regional energy company assumes that peak PV generation will increase to two gigawatts by the end of the year. This means that more is produced than consumed and the surplus must be sold on the international market at market prices. And there the price fluctuates within a very short time depending on the supply.
The number of PV systems is also increasing: an important step towards the energy transition! But: “The times when you could achieve maximum profit with feed-in are over,” explains Dr. Christian Lebelhuber, director of “Krone Sonne”: “But that is no reason for concern. On the contrary, the rise of PV systems gives us the opportunity to become more independent and self-sufficient.”
Because ‘Krone Sonne’, as a leading supplier of sustainable energy, has long relied on maximum self-consumption, unlike other companies; customers use the electricity they generate themselves. A strategy that now appears to be particularly prescient. At a time when geopolitical uncertainties and high subsidies have led to a boom in PV systems, customers of “Krone Sonne” are choosing the ideal route to significantly increase their own consumption. And by focusing on their own consumption and independence, they remain unaffected by fluctuations in the international market.
Cost-effective and future-oriented
Do you also want to walk the royal route? No problem! With top prices for PV packages including storage and monitoring, “Krone Sonne” offers the best way to switch to sustainable and cost-effective energy – with the ideal solution for every roof and budget. And existing “Krone Sonne” customers can also expand their system easily, quickly and cost-effectively with a storage system.
Solar energy costs about a third of current electricity prices and remains consistently cheap throughout the life of a PV system – at least more than 25 years. This makes the switch to solar energy a safe, efficient decision. Customers of “Krone Sonne” are therefore well prepared for the future! By focusing on self-consumption and independence, “Krone Sonne” customers remain insensitive to fluctuations on the international market.
