The EVN will also not carry out energy disconnections this winter in case of payment problems. The relevant period is from December 1, 2025, to February 15, 2026, according to AK Lower Austria President and ÖGB NÖ Chairman Markus Wieser on Monday after a discussion with the Lower Austrian energy provider.

Additionally, it was agreed that during these two and a half months, interest on installment payments will also be suspended.

"EVN Energy Assistance Fund"

According to Wieser, the tense situation of households affected by energy poverty was also discussed. To support these consumers, the "EVN Energy Assistance Fund" is still available. The processing is carried out by Caritas of the Archdiocese of Vienna and the Diocese of St. Pölten, as well as by the Diakonie.
