Rising network costs: Vienna sees 23.1% increase in electricity from 2025

Vienna faces a significant increase in the network costs for electricity and gas. These changes affect households in particular, which have to expect an average of 23.1 percent and gas costs by 16.6 percent. This information comes from the current designs of the regulatory authority E-Control.

network costs are the fees that are charged for the transfer of electricity and gas by the lines. These costs are a crucial part of the energy costs that consumers have to pay annually. E-Control sets these costs and publishes the corresponding values primarily in December for the coming year.

increases due to taxes

An additional factor that will increase the financial burdens for consumers is the increasing taxes. These taxes could lead to the total cost of energy by several hundred euros per year. This means that not only the network costs, but also other fees in the coming years could influence it.

The need to raise the network costs is often justified with the state of infrastructure and the necessary investments in energy supply. These changes are important for many households because they can significantly influence the monthly expenses.

For more detailed details on these developments and its reasoning, a look at the official communications of the E-Control is recommended. For more information, See current reporting on www.derstandard.at .
