Sources and assumptions
Electricity 18.57 cent per kWh: VKW Strom Duo, the standard tariff in Vorarlberg, quoted 31.08.2026. Normal rate with the standing discount already in it, plus the consumption-dependent share of network charges and levies, gross. The reduced summer rate runs 1 April to 30 September between 10 and 16, which is exactly when nobody is heating, and new and existing customers pay the same price. This is what one extra kWh costs a household using 14.700 kWh a year, 3.500 for the house and 11.236 for the heater. The yearly standing charge is left out because it is owed with or without the heater. Heating oil € 1.6248 a litre: cheapest HeizOel24 offer for Vorarlberg, 2.000 litres, 27.08.2026. The 40 % lost is the annual figure for a thirty year old constant temperature boiler including standby and distribution losses, where 60 to 75 % is the honest range; a newer low temperature boiler reaches about 80 %, which still costs 20,3 cent per kWh of heat. The chimney sweep's combustion reading of about 90 % measures flue loss only and is a different quantity. CO₂ is zero because the tariff above is 100 % renewable by VKW’s own disclosure, and it would not be on a standard tariff. Mining cashback 13.4 cent per kWh at the four year Bitcoin average, and it moves with the Bitcoin price and network difficulty. No household is named here: this is public pricing applied to a typical house, not a customer story.
