Vienna is fighting for inflation: 100 euro bonus for low earners!

From tomorrow, March 17, 2025, households with low incomes in Vienna can apply for a compensation bonus of 100 euros. This measure was introduced in response to the expires of the electricity price brake and the dramatically increased network fees, which can increase up to 30 percent. Mayor Michael Ludwig emphasizes that the fight against inflation remains an urgent task. The compensation bonus aims at around 130,000 Viennese, which are liberated from the ORF budget and should therefore receive support in their energy costs, as reports the press

To apply for the bonus, the electricity customers only have to present their customer number and proof of the liberation from the ORF household levy. Either online on the Vienna Energy website, personally in the service centers or by post can be made. The credit will be deducted directly from the next partial amounts or open invoices and can be used once in the campaign period by June 30, 2025. This quick and unbureaucratic measure is intended to help people in difficult life situations, as Mayor Ludwig and Michael Strebl, Chairman of the Vienna Energy Management, highlight, whereby the cooperation with social organizations such as Caritas and Rotem Cross has existed for years to offer targeted support, so apa ots .

Overall, the compensation bonus is regarded as a crucial step to support people in emergencies, especially in times of increasing living costs. The social packages worth 22 million euros so far show the city's commitment to relieve needy households, which is of great importance during the current energy crisis. The campaign begins on Friday and is intended to help you noticeably reduce the financial burdens of those affected.
