Austrian Post expands into energy market

 Austrian Post and VERBUND are today launching a joint electricity and gas service for all Austrians. Post Strom BONUS and Post Gas SORGLOS are now available in all 330 or so post offices and online at post.at . For the first time, private customers will be able to take out attractive VERBUND energy tariffs in person via a large network of branches throughout Austria. From February 2027, the offer will also be available at the more than 1,350 postal partners.

Together, Austrian Post and VERBUND combine VERBUND’s energy expertise with Austrian Post’s dense personal advisory network. This makes attractive electricity and gas offers easily and personally accessible – especially for customers who want to get advice on site, check their offer and conclude it directly.

Elisabeth Zehetner, State Secretary for Energy, Startups and Tourism: “Affordable energy needs competition and offers that simply reach the people. Post ENERGIE combines VERBUND’s energy expertise with the proximity and trust that Austrian Post enjoys throughout Austria. This makes it easier for people to get personal advice and to conclude a suitable energy tariff. With our ÖBAG ownership strategy, we are pursuing precisely this aspiration: Our investments should be economically successful, combine their strengths and use synergies for the benefit of Austria. This cooperation shows how this can be achieved: it brings advice closer to the people and strengthens competition for the best offers.”
