EVN bills have caused great mistrust and confusion for Waldviertel homeowner Robert Klein for years. Despite a PV system, consumption remained very high - and costs exploded!

The Dietmann resident heats with electricity and had an annual consumption of a gigantic 22,800 kilowatt hours in his two-person household from February 2022 to February 2023. As he consumes more than eight times as much as an average household, he decided to install an eleven kWpeak photovoltaic system to reduce electricity costs.
