All affected private customers can receive either a compensation payment or a credit in the EVN bonus program upon request. To apply for the compensation payment, registration is required by 31.07.2025 here. EVN has sent information letters to over 300,000 affected household customers. Former EVN customers can also register and benefit from the settlement solution. The amount of compensation or credit depends on individual consumption. The following tariffs were affected by the 2022 price increase: Optima Strom, Optima Eco, Optima Natur, Optima Eco Natur, Optima Gas, and Optima Biogas.

"The collective action and the compensation payment offered by EVN have been very well received by the affected customers so far," says Mag. Stefan Schreiner, the responsible lawyer for the collective action at VKI. "Over 130,000 customers have already submitted an application and received a compensation payment or credit in the EVN bonus points program. Affected household customers with an average consumption can expect a compensation payment or bonus points equivalent to several hundred euros for electricity and gas combined."
