Highlights

  • Austria aims at achieving 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.
  • Renewables account for 80% of the power mix.
  • Gas imports from Russia have decreased from over 90% in 2021 to less than 20% from May to October 2022.
  • 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 instenisve industries in 2022 and extended to all companies for 2023.
  • Energy consumption rebounded by 5% in 2021, back to its 2019 level.
  • 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.

  • 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

    Oil:

    OMV (State 31.5% through ÖBAG, Mubadala Petroleum, and Petrochemicals 24.9%) is the national oil company involved in the exploration-production, refining and distribution of oil.

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    The country's gas production has been decreasing by more than 10%/year since 2012, when it peaked at 1.8 bcm, falling to 0.7 bcm in 2021 (7% of total consumption).

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    The average price of gasoline and diesel is around 15% below the EU averages.

    Following international prices, diesel prices increased by 46% in 2022 and gasoline by 39%.

    Since 2007, part of the income from excise taxes on motor fuels (€0.03/l for gasoline and €0.05/l for diesel) is allocated to a national climate protection fund.

  • Energy Consumption

    Austria's energy consumption per capita is 3.7 toe, which is 22% higher than the EU average (2021). The country's electricity consumption stands at 7 470 kWh, i.e., 30% above the EU average.

  • Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
  • Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
  • Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
  • Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
  • Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator.

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).
