Highlights

  • Austria aims to achieve 100% of renewables in the power mix in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2040.
  • OMV dominates the oil and gas market.
  • Most of the power companies are controlled by public institutions. Verbund is the largest power generator and EnergieAllianz Austria the largest supplier.
  • Renewables account for 80% of the power mix.
  • Gas imports were mutliplied by 2.6 in 2022, but the share of Russian gas decreased from more than 90% in 2021 to around 60% in 2022 and 65% in 2023.
  • Because of its low refining capacity, Austria buys half of its demand of petroleum products abroad.
  • Since end-2022, electricity prices are capped for households to counterbalance rising costs.
  • Energy subsidies were introduced for energy intensive industries in 2022 and extended to all companies for 2023.
  • Energy consumption decreased by 6% in 2022.
  • Industry is the main driver of electricity consumption growth.
  • Most of the investments in the power sector are directed to new hydropower projects.
  • Austria aims to reinforce its gas interconnections and to build a strong hydrogen-compatible network to become a transit hub.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Directorate General for Energy & Mining of the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation, and Technology is responsible for the energy policy and supervises the energy sector. The ministry is also in charge of environmental and climate protection policies.

  • Energy Companies

    Gas:

    The gas market is characterised by a high level of provincial and local ownership.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Austria's limited energy resources consist of hydrocarbons (4.6 bcm for gas and 5 Mt for oil at end-2022).

  • Energy Prices

    Electricity:

    Industry prices have more than doubled since 2020, while prices for households jumped by 15%. To reduce the still growing electricity costs, the government introduced a price cap on electricity for all households in January 2023 until at least June 30th, 2024. Companies have been benefiting from the "energy cost subsidy 1 & 2" since September 2022.

  • Energy Consumption

    Austria's energy consumption per capita decreased to 3.5 toe (-7%), which is 17% higher than the EU average (2022). The country's electricity consumption stands at 7 200 kWh (-4%) i.e. 30% above the EU average.

The Austria energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Austria country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • Austria Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Austria energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
