Red roses in the trend: Valentine's Day attracts with a blooming business in Pirka!

In the Fischer family in Pirka, impressive 20,000 red roses were used for the upcoming Valentine's Day, supplemented by a further 20,000 mixed flowers such as tulips and daffodils. Gärtner Willi Fischer reports that the production of a single rose causes an average of around 1 euro in costs. Despite the challenging energy costs, the situation for the Styrian nurseries has stabilized, according to the spokesman for the flower flower gardener, Ferdinand Lienhart, as Orf Styria . In order to reduce costs and at the same time to operate more environmentally friendly, the nursery relies on a closed irrigation system and uses LED lighting to save energy.

energy costs in focus

The current discussion about energy costs is characterized by scary developments: the rising fuel prices, especially coal and natural gas, now fluctuate compared to the values ​​of 2020. In view of a CO2 price of almost 90 euros per ton, clean energy sources have been cheaper than their fossil counterparts since 2022. As tech for the future , the costs for electricity of our time are decisive-especially when it comes to how sustainable climate protection can be implemented.

The detailed cost situation shows that the cheapest way of generating electricity lies in the extension of the terms of older nuclear power plants, while the prices of fossil fuels have risen sharply. The expectations of system costs vary significantly, especially in the case of weather-dependent wind and solar energy. Several reports make it clear that the complete consideration of external costs, such as environmental damage and health consequences, significantly influences the economy of different energy sources. Therefore, dealing with energy costs has never been so important, especially with regard to the preparations and requirements of the upcoming Valentine's Day and beyond for the energy future of the region.
