Electricity prices for end consumers in Austria consist of several components: energy supply costs, regulated grid fees, and government taxes and surcharges. Typical breakdown of household electricity price in Austria (3500 kWh/year, as of Jan. 2025). Energy (~44%) + Network (~28%) + Taxes/Surcharges (~28%).
Energy Supply (Wholesale & Retail): This is the cost of generating or procuring the electricity. In Austria's liberalized market, suppliers buy electricity on the wholesale market or produce it, and add a retail margin. This energy component typically makes up about 40–50% of the end-user price.
In practice, this means electricity rates are tied to the hourly prices on an exchange – in Austria's case, usually the EPEX Spot market (Austrian trading zone). Prices for each hour of the next day are fixed daily in the EPEX Spot day-ahead auction, and passed through to consumers in dynamic tariff plans.
Austria's electricity supply in 2025 remains dominated by renewable energy, continuing a long-standing trend. Table 1 summarizes the generation mix based on the latest data (2024), with historical context: Table 1: Austria's Electricity Generation Mix (2024 data with context)
