Vienna Energy: Winter aid without switching off for those affected!

Wien, Österreich - Vienna stands in front of a winter aid program for the needy! Vienna Energie has decided not to make any shutdowns for electricity, gas and district heating in the cold season from December to the end of February. This was announced on the first Sunday of Advent and is a decision that will benefit many households in difficult financial positions. City Councilor Peter Hanke (SPÖ) emphasized the importance of a warm home in this cold season and explained: "We stand in emergencies and ensure their care with extensive measures such as the voluntary reciprocity", as oe24.at reported.

In addition, the country's largest energy supplier laces a comprehensive energy aid package worth 12 million euros. This package includes energy vouchers that are distributed directly to the needy via social institutions such as Caritas, Red Cross and Volkshilfe. Michael Strebl, the chairman of the Vienna Energy Management, underlined that the help should arrive exactly where it is most urgently needed. "We provide two million people with energy - and do not let them down even in challenging life situations," he said. The vouchers can be used to pay for open invoices or for ongoing energy costs, which should be relieved for many families, such as "https://www.meinbezirk.at/wien/c-wirtschaft/kein-schaltungen-und-million-hilfpaket-fuer-en-winter_a7038054" reported.

mutual support in winter

This massive auxiliary package is not only a reaction to the increasing energy costs, but also a sign of solidarity in a challenging time. In addition to the reciprocity of the switch -off, there is also support from the all year round operated ombudsman of the Vienna Energy that offers individual advice for people in difficult situations. "Our employees advise the Viennese in difficult situations and provide individual, personal solutions," continued Strebl. This ensures that every household in the capital can keep a warm room during winter.
