Family -friendly electricity offer: This is how you save up to 60%!

Wien, Österreich - With the innovative Family & Friends-offer from Ourpower, the future of energy supply will be redesigned. Users can share excess electricity from their photovoltaic systems, which promotes a stronger connection between people, regardless of the distance.

A concrete example of this offers Lisa, who lives in Vienna and receives electricity from her parents in Upper Austria. Her well -known Lukas and Laura also obtain electricity from the in -laws in the Waldviertel. In contrast to classic energy communities, where electricity can only be exchanged, if it is generated and consumed at the same time, Ourpower enables the exchange of various renewable energy sources via a marketplace. This means that the electricity requirement can be covered even if there is no solar radiation.

Individual pricing and cost savings

The special thing about this offer is that users can set the price for the shared electricity themselves. For example, Franz sets the price for its electricity at 1 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh). His daughter Lisa can thus cover up to 60 percent of her electricity needs with him. The remaining 40 percent takes you through the Ourpower marketplace.

This regulation significantly reduced her electricity costs. The average price it pays amounts to 10.7 cents per kWh gross, compared to 17.5 cents per kWh gross, which are to be paid in state energy suppliers in Eastern Austria. Saving even saved her to afford a bike after five years, which illustrates the financial advantage of the Family & Friends offerings.

promotion of renewable energy

In addition to the low electricity prices, users of the Family & Friends offer also benefit from the financial incentives, which are provided by the Energy Community . These incentives include the absence of the renewable subsidy, the exemption from the electricity tax and a reduction in network charges. These regulations apply to electricity from all renewable sources and have been in force since July 1, 2022

With the system usage fee regulation, which has been in effect since November 1, 2021, the network charges for members of energy communities significantly reduce. The reduction for local communities is up to 57 percent. This helps to further reduce the costs for the members and to promote the use of renewable energies.

An online information event for the Family & Friends offer will take place on June 5, 2025 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Here interested parties have the opportunity to find out how to share their solar power and to receive answers to questions about pricing, drain and technology. Registration takes place via the homepage of Ourpower.

Oekonews reports that this offer is not only ecologically but also economically sensible by a sustainable connection between the community and the individual promoted.
