Even if the electricity price is not necessarily higher, the costs as a result of the price brake and increased network costs. The differences between the federal states are clear.
At the start of the year not only the Remrem of the Electricity Prize ended, but the network costs also rose. And in all likelihood this will also be noticeable in the Börserl of the energy customers.
Because the comparison Portal Control24.at compared the electricity costs from December 2024 in January 2025. An average increase in Vienna shows an average of 41 percent (Ö-Gemia: 37 percent). With a single household it is 47 percent, 44 percent for a household of two people. According to Lower Austria, this means the biggest increase.
Tasks differ
For comparison: in Styria the prices “only” rose by 26 percent (see graphic). According to Energie -Expert Sebastian Lex, this is because the network costs and taxes differ depending on the state. Lex: “If you stay with the same provider longer, you usually do not have the best possible contract. You can find better rates through new customer discounts and exchange bonuses.
Don’t be afraid of annual accounts
A spokesperson for Vienna Energie emphasizes on the request that you have not increased the prices. “The current offer applies to both new and existing customers and is among the cheapest of all national energy suppliers. The absolute majority of Vienna Energy customers have this affordable, stable price level since the summer of 2023, “it continues.
But: the increased total costs for energy are due to the adjustment of the network costs and this of the Remrem of the Electricity Prize.
However, you do not necessarily have to expect a shock moment in the annual invoicing. “The elimination of the brake price brake, the adjustment of the state taxes and the adjusted network costs have already been taken into account by Vienna Energie since the changes had been set.”
