New “OPTIMA Entspannt plus” tariff from Wien Energie: Low electricity and gas prices for one year. Savings of up to 150 euros for households.
During periods of inflation, many households struggle with rising energy costs. Wien Energie now guarantees affordable natural gas and cheap electricity for a whole year. The new “OPTIMA Entspannt plus” tariff is being offered to private customers. It promises savings of 150 euros for average households.
The new electricity and natural gas tariff is intended to offer households planning security at a price level below that of the expired electricity price cap. The new tariff offers potential savings with an electricity consumption price of approximately 9.9 cents per kilowatt-hour net and a basic price of around 4.82 euros net per month. For natural gas, the consumption price is around 4.4 cents/kWh net, and the monthly basic price is around 6.76 euros net. A one-year contract commitment is required in each case.
According to Wien Energie, a typical Viennese household with an annual electricity consumption of 2,000 kWh and natural gas consumption of 8,000 kWh can save up to 150 euros per year compared to the existing Optima Entspannt tariff. The new prices apply to all new and existing customers until the end of September 2025 at the latest.
The energy provider also emphasizes that the tariff is based entirely on green electricity. The one-year price commitment is designed to provide consumers with financial stability, particularly in light of inflation and an uncertain energy market. Wien Energie guarantees prices for one year from the contract start date, regardless of market conditions and developments.
Companies can also take advantage of the new tariff model. The “MEGA plus” business tariff offers reduced prices for electricity and gas, depending on the contract term. The consumption price for electricity is approximately 12.7 cents per kWh net, and for gas, it is approximately 5.9 cents per kWh net. Those who commit to a one-year contract receive electricity at approximately 10.7 cents per kWh net and natural gas at approximately 4.9 cents per kWh net. The basic fee is around 7.30 euros net per month.
