Legal dispute over electricity prices: Burgenland Energie fends off vigorously!
Burgenland, Österreich - Current developments related to Burgenland Energie : The company vehemently defends itself against the planned profit skance in the amount of 17.3 million euros, which the Federal Government demands. Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) announced that the company goes to the second instance at the Federal Finance Court. If the company is successful, it is planned to pass the money back to customers, which could statistically mean three months of free current for those affected. The government justifies the measure by the fact that electricity generators would not pass on discounts.
In addition, a lawyer who represents a group of several hundred customers wants to initiate complaints about a recent increase in electricity price. The lawyer, who has also conducted comparison talks, offers Burgenland Energie a flat -rate payment of half a million euros, in exchange against the waiver of lawsuits. However, Burgenland Energie is determined not to be put under pressure and sees no threat in the impending complaints, especially after it recently gained in similar cases. The lawyer expects at least 2,000 mandates for claims for recovery, while Burgenland Energie has made a proposal, according to which only 700 customers should receive compensation of 200 euros.developments in energy supply
As early as April 1, 2024, Burgenland Energie will reduce the prices for electricity and gas. The new tariffs are 14.9 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity and 5.7 cents per kilowatt hour for gas. In addition, promises were made for more understandable billing, since the existing invoices are perceived as too complex. CEO Stephan Sharma regrets the confusion of the documents and announced that the billing should be made easier and more transparent. This happens against the background of the continued tense situation in energy supply, especially with regard to the dependence on Russian gas and the upcoming changes to the transit contracts in 2024.
A lot is at stake for the customers of Burgenland Energie. The discussion about the skimming of profits could not only have financial consequences, but also influence future pricing in energy supply. The Burgenland Chamber of Labor also emphasizes the importance of returning the possible amounts to customers in order to promote fair solutions.
