Austria's energy consumption in April increased year-on-year, with electricity sales rising by 1.8% and natural gas consumption increasing by 5.4%. However, domestic energy production declined, leading to higher electricity import demand.
Hydropower generation decreased significantly due to low water levels, with only solar power generation experiencing strong growth. Natural gas production also dropped sharply, and storage levels are 18% lower compared to the same period last year, although they remain substantial.
Overall, Austria is becoming increasingly reliant on imports in both electricity and natural gas markets to meet domestic demand.
