This Supreme Court ruling has consequences for tens of thousands of Austrians, 75,000 Upper Austrians alone, who surrender solar energy: the vast majority of them will receive a refund that was wrongly collected by the grid operators. The “Krone” explains how PV operators make their money.
Grid access tariff for green energy systems – sounds a bit cumbersome, but everyone who feeds back solar energy pays this fee to the grid operator. And now the Supreme Court (OGH) has retroactively annulled this: there is money back. About 75,000 Upper Austrians can hope: 140,000 systems were put into operation nationwide last year alone. And all owners paid the fee, most get it back, but not all. The “Krone” asked who gets how much money, how and when.
