Yep, I think 105 kWh/m²/a for an insulated house is really a lot... P.S.: Your advance payment will not only increase in January. The first increase comes in October due to the levies (already included in my figures). Whether your supplier can maintain the (estimated) 6 cents per kWh until January is also uncertain. Even price guarantees are currently worth nothing.You only have 100 sqm anyway, other old houses have x2 that.
So our house from 1921 was insulated in 1993, and with 4 people living in 100m2, we have consumed on average about 10500kwh/year over the last 5 years and pay a gas prepayment of 65€. From January it will certainly be more because the contract will expire then, but I can only be surprised by many consumptions. Due to the very mild last winter, we won't even reach 10,000 this year but will be around 9500.
How do you come up with 6 cents? The surcharge was already set at 2,… cents. At the same time, the VAT on the entire price is reduced to 7%. Therefore, there should be little to no increase due to the surcharge.Yep, I think 105 kWh/m²/a is really a lot for an insulated house... P.S.: Your payment advance will not only increase in January.

Even price guarantees are basically worthless right now.

A €400 down payment is also €4800 per year. At the moment, no one can say with any certainty what will ultimately come out of it. On top of the contract prices, there is also the gas levy. Whether the contracts will be worth anything this winter is another question. And then, of course, what happens when all the existing contracts expire now. Sure, you can switch to the basic supply, but where does the basic supplier get their gas from?
The same game with electricity. The portals are now well over 50c, and EnBW, as our future basic supplier, will be somewhere around 40c from autumn if I remember the announcement correctly.
