AustriaIn July, household energy prices in Austria rose again after a brief decrease in June. The Energy Price Index (EPI) increased by 5.7% compared to the same month last year and by 1.1% month-on-month, driven by higher fuel prices and geopolitical uncertainties. While electricity prices fell slightly year-over-year but remained stable compared to June, gas prices rose by 4.6% annually but dropped by 0.6% monthly. Heating oil and pellets saw significant increases, with pellets rising by 31.3% and heating oil by 26.9%. Diesel and super gasoline also experienced notable price hikes.
