Energy price crisis: Upper Austria's company faces dramatic wave!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - In Upper Austria, the umbrella organizable energy Austria (EEÖ) raises alarm! The recently presented zoning plan for wind power by the state councils Markus Achleitner and Manfred Haimbuchner leaves considerable gaps that could endanger the energy supply. Christoph Wagner, the President of the EEÖ, emphasizes that the designation of important areas for wind power projects is simply missing and even a planned location for a large project with 22 facilities and investments of 250 million euros was left out. These defects in the interpretation are a serious threat to future electricity generation, especially in an industrial country like Upper Austria, where a stable and affordable energy supply is urgently needed, such as ots reported .

The situation is further tightened by the impending explosion of energy costs from 2025. According to WKOÖ President Doris Hummer, the economy, which is already suffering from the return of the return of increasing energy prices, is now facing a massive wave of costs. This results from the expiry of financial support measures, which have been introduced in the past two years to catch energy prices. Returning to increased taxes, such as the electricity-network fee by 31.9 % and the gas network charter by 29.4 %, will not only hit large industrial companies, but also smaller companies. Hummer demands a long -term strategy from politics to return the necessary stability and to secure competitiveness. It remains to be seen how those responsible will react to these dangers, as well as WKO reported .
