Change or choose your temporary power supplier yourself

Hello community,

we have now had construction power for a month and are being supplied through the "basic supply" from E.On. E.On is known to not be the cheapest. Has anyone here ever changed the supplier during the time of construction power? I am allowed to cancel every 14 days and during the first cautious search I found some providers that are 5 cents/kWh cheaper and also cancellable every 2 weeks (which is what matters).

I am also a bit shocked by the unexpectedly high electricity consumption in the first 4 weeks. It was 581 kWh. The ground floor including ceiling is in the shell construction stage, there is no crane on site (ceiling via mobile crane). So basically only stones were cut and concrete mixed. However, there is a construction trailer of the general contractor on site which was heated during the first days in April, as it was still quite cold then. You don't really want to forbid that, although I would have preferred if they had warmed themselves up by working :-P

In any case, one is now naturally thinking about how much electricity will be wasted in the next 5 months, especially once things really get going.

Thanks for tips and info!

+++ is no longer relevant. The client probably gave the wrong meter reading out of shock and 581 kwh became 81 kwh. +++

Even if it were that high. With the things that need to be done at the moment and the things that had to be done before, it doesn't matter at all. That little bit of electricity consumed there would be totally irrelevant to me.

I believe anyway that you have to take the basic supplier MUSS.

Electricity and water should – like other "small things" – be generously calculated – the more you look forward to the savings (which anyway are swallowed up again by the bigger items )

Insanity... this is about maybe 100..150 EUR savings. Hope you have thought the house construction through well. Anyone who has to calculate like this... maybe better not build a house at all..

I am not worried about my house construction, but I would take 150 euros if I could save them. [emoji4]

I had tried a switch back then with the registered meter number, but was rejected. So I would definitely agree with my predecessors that construction power only goes through the basic supplier.
