• The price trend: "Thanks to its long-term procurement policy, Energie AG was able to keep electricity and gas prices stable until January 2023. Unfortunately, we then also had to raise prices for our customers. However, the additional charges were counteracted in a targeted manner with individual packages of measures. In June 2023, electricity and gas became cheaper again for our customers. The situation has now stabilized somewhat."

• Future plans: "Our overarching goal is to decarbonize the cycle from generation to distribution to recycling, i.e. to sustainably reduce Energie AG's CO2 emissions. From 2025, we want to supply around 700,000 additional Upper Austrians with renewable energy from water, sun and wind."
