“The statements of the FPÖ MP Nepp are out of air,” criticizes the SPÖ club chairman and SPÖ energy spokesman Josef Taucher a current press release from the FPÖ politician. “The fact is that no other federal state has taken as many measures against inflation as Vienna. This is also evidenced by a current study by the WIFO economic research institute. With measures such as the Vienna living bonus or the Vienna Energiebonus, Vienna was able to set the greatest support services compared to other Austrian federal states. The study makes it clear that Vienna has set the most extensive packages of measures to catch the inflation. In total, the Viennese could be supported with 373.94 euros per capita, ”explains Taucher.
“Vienna has put over 1 billion euros in anti -control measures to best support the Viennese and to cushion the effects of inflation. This shows that Vienna offers stability and security – especially in times of crisis. The Viennese can rely on us. ”
And further: “A look at the ÖVP-FPÖ led Upper Austria shows how socially the self-proclaimed ‘social home party’ is in reality. Because the study by the WIFO economic research institute shows that the Upper Austrian ÖVP-FPÖ government supported the residents on average just 1.20 euros per capita. In the countries where the FPÖ coincides, it could demonstrate its social streak for the citizens and orientate themselves to Vienna – but the opposite is the case, as can be seen from the example of Upper Austria. ”
“A serious advice to the FPÖ MP Nepp: Now that the FPÖ leads negotiations in the federal government, Nepp is happy to work with his party colleagues to negotiate real support measures for the Austrians. Instead of making cuts in Klimabonus, e-car funding and photovoltaics, the FPÖ will hopefully invest intensively in the expansion of renewable energies and continue the electricity cover. So you can look forward to it, ”said Taucher in the direction of FPÖ.
“Vienna Mayor Dr. In times of inflation, Michael Ludwig reacted the fastest and put together the largest relief package for the Viennese. The result of the study clearly shows that Vienna has set the greatest anti -control measures. The war of attack in Russia on Ukraine has led to massive faults on the energy markets. Vienna immediately acted and set all levers in motion to cushion the effects of the energy crisis, ”said the SPÖ club chairman.
Zwl.: Unbureaucratic help for everyone you need: 22 million euros in the form of energy vouchers
For people in particularly difficult life situations, Vienna Energie has been a social ombudsman for more than 15 years. The offer ranges from individual payment agreements, advice together with social institutions to home visits – always with the aim of ensuring the energy supply for customers. With the energy aid package of a total of 22 million euros in the form of energy vouchers, Vienna has made an important contribution to supporting people in need in the past two years and made a social pot for unbureaucratic relief. “The energy aid package is therefore a targeted, long -term relief measure for all Viennese that are particularly affected by financially. This support does not offer any other energy supplier in this form,” says Taucher.
ZTl.: Bright and warm living room also with late payment
“Even if someone cannot pay for the bill, Vienna makes energy ensuring that the living room stays bright and warm. Vienna Energie has voluntarily forego reminders and dismissals in the event of a delay in payment since December and at the end of February. This ensures that there is no energy shutdowns, ”said Taucher.
Zwtl.: Vienna Energie is investing in a climate -neutral future
Vienna Energie is planning the largest investment program in the company’s history. “We in Vienna have a clear goal in mind. The Austrian federal capital is to become climate neutral by 2040. For us, this means out of gas and fossil fuels and purely into good climate future. For this, Vienna sets all levers in motion. One of these large levers is the switch to renewable energies, ”says SPÖ club chairman Josef Taucher. In order to be able to achieve the climate goals and to be able to generate a self -sufficient heating and generate electricity, Vienna wants to invest 2.6 billion euros in the expansion of renewable energies by 2029. These are massive investments in a sustainable, grandchild -friendly future, ”continued Taucher.
ZTl.: Shoulder on shoulder with the Viennese
“In Vienna we are shoulder on shoulder with the Viennese and don’t let anyone down. Vienna Mayor Michael Ludwig shows that Vienna also guarantees stability and security for the Viennese in times of crisis, ”concludes Taucher.
