Mario K. from Pinzgau and his family are at loggerheads with Salzburg AG. The reason: an inexplicably high annual bill. According to the bill, they had consumed more than four times as much electricity as an average family. Now the regional court is to clarify the matter.

Mario K. (49) is a worker and family man. He has lived with his loved ones in an apartment in Saalfelden since 2011. "Everything was always fine with the electricity until the bill for the previous year came in June 2023," he tells "Krone" and shows the bill from Salzburg AG: 18,149 kilowatt hours, 6,700 euros back payment. "When I saw that, I turned white as a sheet."
