It is important to distinguish <\/strong>whether the electricity comes from a regional Renewable Energy Community (EEG)<\/strong> originates from or from a Citizens' Energy Community (BEG)<\/strong> at the national level, that makes a difference \u2013 especially for the Advantages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the current produced and consumed in the region or in the neighborhood<\/strong> \u2013 for example, at the same network level, at the same transformer or via a common substation \u2013 the Network charges and levies are significantly lower<\/strong>In this case, we speak of a local or regional Renewable Energy Community (EEG)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is different with the Citizens\u2019 Energy Community (BEG):<\/strong> Here the current can shared throughout Austria<\/strong> \u2013 for example from Carinthia to Vienna \u2013 but the Advantage in network fees lower<\/strong>, because the current is multiple network levels and larger distances<\/strong> must be transported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the general benefits you get when you purchase electricity from our energy communities:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Guaranteed green electricity from our members<\/strong> \u2013 no imported electricity
\u2705 More independence from large corporations<\/strong> \u2013 less dependence on electricity price fluctuations on the stock exchange
\u2705 Cheap electricity price as a consumer<\/strong> \u2013 because the Energy Community does not generate profits
\u2705 Better yield than feeder<\/strong>: When you generate electricity, you get more than with traditional grid feed-in
\u2705Climate protection with impact<\/strong>:<\/strong> Reduced CO\u2082 footprint for you personally, but also regionally and nationally
\u2705 Contribute instead of just consume<\/strong>: You will become an active part of the energy transition and help shape the energy future
\u2705 Climate protection with impact<\/strong>: You support the expansion of renewable energies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will enjoy these additional benefits if you purchase electricity from one of our regional Renewable Energy Communities (EEGs):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Regional added value:<\/strong> Your money stays in the region and supports local sustainable projects
\u2705 Abolition of the renewable energy subsidy:<\/strong> This fee does not apply to communally used electricity
\u2705 No electricity tax:<\/strong> No electricity tax is levied on electricity consumed within the Community
\u2705 28 % less network energy price:<\/strong> You pay significantly less network work price to Wiener Netze
\u2705 Relieving the burden on the power grids:<\/strong> Local generation and consumption reduce the burden on the supra-regional power grid<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
