The monthly change in the electricity price corresponds to the monthly percentage change of the weighted six-month average of the Austrian spot market. This adjusts your electricity price in line with your buying behaviour and passes on the development of wholesale prices to you on a monthly basis in a transparent manner.

In a daily auction, the market price for the Austrian electricity market is determined for every quarter of an hour of the following day at the point of intersection of supply and demand and provided here to download. 

As soon as all prices for the current month are published, the arithmetic mean average of the base load hours (Mon–Sun, 00:00–24:00) and the peak load hours (Mon–Fri, 08:00–20:00) of the last six months is calculated and weighted according to the take-up profile of an average commercial customer.

The weighting is as follows:

g∅EXAA = 35% g∅EXAABase + 65% g∅EXAAPeak
