Electricity price alarm: How to save your budget with balcony power plants!

Krone, Österreich - On May 23, 2025, the long -term electricity price brake was in force. However, it no longer exists, which presents consumers with new challenges. This has a direct impact on electricity prices that continuously increase due to rising network fees and levies. According to Krone this leads to higher costs for households, which are increasingly thinking about alternative opportunities for electricity generation.

One of the most promising options is the self -production of electricity, for example through so -called "balcony power plants". These installable small solar systems can help reduce electricity costs. Particularly sought -after turnkey solutions that are equipped with a buffer battery ensure an uncomplicated installation. However, while large photovoltaic systems require high initial investments in a five -digit amount and permits, this does not apply to small systems to cover their own use. These only have to be reported to the network operator.

Alternative power sources in focus

Smaller solar systems that cost in the four -digit range and do not need roof surfaces offer a flexible way to generate electricity. They can even be installed on the balcony and therefore also open up tenants new options. The test of the Anker Solix Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro balcony power plant shows how such solutions can positively influence the electricity bill.

In addition to developments in the field of private electricity production, the energy sector also shows progress in large power generation plants. According to PwC , the first pilot tenders for PV open space systems were carried out in April 2015 and the funding landscape has changed since then. Renewable energy systems are increasingly promoted by competitive tenders from the Federal Network Agency.

effects of funding policy

Before the introduction of these tenders, there were legally stipulated funding rates, which were now replaced by a market -oriented system. Tenders for various technologies such as solar, wind onshore, wind offshore and biomass are now mandatory for different size classes. These tenders take place several times a year, and many operators often offer prices of 0 CT/KWH, assuming that they can generate sufficient returns through the market.

While some investors calculate with zero promotion centers, banks often have to rely on legal subsidies in order to achieve a secure income and thus reduce investment and credit risks. PWC supports companies in realizing projects without legal subsidies by examining location -specific electricity prices and performing sensitivity analyzes.

Developments in the energy industry show that both private households and companies have to find creative ways to deal with the increasing electricity prices. Self -produced electricity could be the key to an independent and economically stable energy future.
