# Lower Austria Leads Nation in Energy Provider Switches

November 8, 2026 at 04:38 PM

> Over 78,000 Lower Austrian customers switched energy suppliers through September 2026, outpacing all other regions amid rising prices.

Lower Austria recorded the highest number of energy provider switches in the country during the first nine months of 2026. A total of 78,288 customers changed suppliers, including 59,088 for electricity and 19,200 for gas, surpassing the 67,126 switches in 2025.

The switching rate in Lower Austria reached 6.8 percent for electricity and 7.7 percent for gas. These figures significantly outpace other regions, such as Styria and Vienna at 4.6 percent for electricity, and Upper Austria's 5.9 percent gas switching rate.

E-Control board members Michael Strebl and Alfons Haber highlight rising prices for gas, pellets, and heating oil. To manage costs, the regulatory authority provides a tariff calculator, as 326,732 Austrians nationwide have already sought new energy deals.
