Satses plus in January – electricity and gas consumption higher than a year ago

• Lower electricity production came to higher electricity consumption at the start of the year: 14 percent less electricity was generated in January by 6.49 TWH than in January 2024.

• The current power plants generated 34.1 percent less electricity, storage plants with 17.5 percent less. But the factory operators also registered a decrease of about a third in the wind energy.

• Only the electricity extraction from photovoltaic systems rose by 14.5 percent in the year.

2.7 TWH imported electricity
The total of lower electricity generation from renewable energy sources was compensated by an increased use of thermal power stations, of which the production was 20.8 percent above that of the same period last year.

Moreover, 2.7 TWH electricity was imported – and therefore with half more than a year earlier. However, the export of electricity fell to 18.8 percent.

• In January, gas deliveries to end consumers also rose, but at the same time domestic production – the feedin – in biogenic gases – dropped by 3.6 percent to around 0.51 TWH.

• In January, the import of gas went back to around 7.2 TH and therefore with 28.7 percent, Econtrol reports. At the same time, around 15 percent more gas was exported around twelve TWH than in January 2024.

• For this goal, 5.5 TWH more gas was removed from the savings from 5.5 TWH and with 0.9 TWH at 0.5 TWH. In total, the memory content fell by 20.4 percent compared to the status of the previous year.
