ORF Beitrags Service: gesetzliche Neuerungen ab April 2026:
mit 1. April 2026 treten in Österreich zwei wichtige gesetzliche Neuerungen in Kraft, die Haushalte mit geringem Einkommen bei den Energiekosten entlasten.
Die ORF-Beitrags Service GmbH (OBS) übernimmt dabei eine zentrale Rolle.
• Der Gesetzgeber führt für einkommensschwache Haushalte ab 1. April 2026 einen Sozialtarif in Form eines gestützten Strom-Preises ein (Elektrizitätswirtschaftsgesetz – ElWG mit Kundmachung vom 23.12.2025). Die ORF-Beitrags Service GmbH (OBS) fungiert hier als zentrale Schnittstelle zwischen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern und den Strom-Lieferanten.
Die vom ORF-Beitrag befreiten Haushalte erhalten/erhielten daher von der OBS ein entsprechendes Informationsschreiben.
