These Viennese Receive a 100 Euro Compensation Bonus Starting Today

Electricity customers must expect significant price increases this year. As reported by ORF, network charges have increased, and the subsidy for renewable energies is being levied again. Additionally, the electricity price brake is being removed, which will lead to an increase in electricity prices by at least one-third in 2025.

Support for Low-Income Households in Vienna

Amidst these developments, Wien Energie is particularly supporting customers with low incomes. A one-time compensation bonus of 100 euros is being granted. This amount will be deducted in installments from the next partial payments to provide noticeable relief.

Applications for Compensation Bonus Already Possible

Applications for the compensation bonus can be submitted until June 30. Eligible are individuals who are demonstrably exempt from the ORF household levy. Applications can be made online, by mail, or directly at the service centers of Wien Energie in Spittelau, Erdberg, and Guntramsdorf.

Wien Energie has been offering an ombudsman office for social hardship cases for 15 years, working closely with various social organizations such as Caritas, Red Cross, Volkshilfe, Wiener Hilfswerk, Obdach Wien, and Licht ins Dunkel. According to Wien Energie, social packages worth a total of 22 million euros have been put together to date, providing support to over 2,000 people.
