Energy crisis: Almost half of the Austrians freeze this winter!
Wien, Österreich - The rising energy prices in Austria are very concerned about the households and in the middle of winter. The start of the cold season brings not only frosty temperatures, but also a new price increase in the energy sector. According to the current survey of Today. Michael Rajtora, CEO of Immobilienrendite AG, confirms the trend and points out that the value is only slightly below the previous year when 48 percent of the respondents reduced their heating costs.
high loads for households
The financial burdens that arise from high network charges are particularly worrying. The average limit for heating and electricity costs is 213 euros per month, an amount that many households can no longer do. The survey also shows that younger people and people with lower incomes are rather inclined to avoid heat, with 61 percent of those surveyed between 18 and 29 years will be willing to heat less.In view of an inadequate energy supply, especially due to little sun and wind energy in winter, the Austrians are looking for alternatives. In a survey, a majority states to support the expansion of hydropower plants in order to cover the energy requirement. 57 percent support this possibility, particularly pronounced in Tyrol (73 percent) and Salzburg (72 percent). Furthermore, 54 percent see potential in waste incineration, which shows that the population is actively looking for solutions to compensate for the seasonal energy deficiencies.
This situation illustrates the urgency of a sustainable energy supply in Austria. At the same time, the general willingness to change on a future-oriented way of thinking indicates, as Markus Kitz-EuGehammer said from Immobilienrendite AG. The survey results indicate that there is a great interest in the expansion of renewable energies, which is important for future energy planning in Austria.
