On the basis of these principles, Austria’s energy strategy is primarily directed at enhancing energy efficiency at every level where energy is supplied and consumed. Furthermore, it is necessary to improve security of supply and crisis provision for every source of energy and to strive to achieve as high a degree of energy autonomy as possible, while at the same time taking into account cost efficiency.
