“SPÖ Mayor Michael Ludwig can and must immediately reduce the network charges of Vienna Energie. It is an insolence that despite the records of the urban company, the Viennese will continue to be burdened with exploding electricity prices. Vienna Energie is 100 percent owned by the city of Vienna through Vienna Holding, and Ludwig has a direct impact on prices. Instead of ripping off the citizens, he has to finally act and reduce the costs, ”demands the Vienna FPÖ state party chairman, City Councilor Dominik Nepp, in view of the latest reports on the drastic increasing of electricity prices in Vienna.
According to the current media reports, the electricity price for Viennese households has almost doubled, although Vienna has generated hundreds of millions of profits in recent years. “Now is not the time to accumulate the profits of a city company – people urgently need financial relief. The record profits of recent years must be rejected immediately and in full to the power customers, ”demands Nepp.
“It cannot be that Ludwig and his comrades enrich themselves at the expense of the Viennese population. Vienna needs a policy that acts in the interests of the citizens and does not drift people in poverty. The FPÖ will continue to fight for fair electricity prices, ”says Nepp. (Ending)
