E-Control: Energy competition became livelier

According to the regulator E-Control, competition in the energy sector has increased in Austria in recent years. There are now 155 electricity and 50 gas suppliers active in Austria, almost 60 and 30 of them nationwide. Where the prices are high, there are higher exchange rates, said E-Control board member Wolfgang Urbantschitsch on Monday. Grosso modo one sees the electricity price level unchanged for the next few years. However, green electricity costs would rise.
