Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

First, a 3-month replacement supply is scheduled. Prices can be bad during that time. If the supply contract still has a term, simply object to the price increase. See [Verbraucherzentrale].

Crazy
And mine, which stayed reasonable so far, wanted to increase to 78 cents and only if I close quickly by October 15 at the latest
I'll probably switch to the basic supply

Yes, well, I still don't fully trust this.
My contract has now automatically been extended for one year, but I no longer have a price guarantee.
Couldn't my supplier come up with the idea to raise prices at any time? Or? (of course then I would have the right to cancel)

I will probably go into basic supply

For years and still now, we were in basic supply. Last week, the letter with the price increases as of 1.1.23 arrived.

Gas: Basic price from €7.24 to €9.92, consumption price from 4.55 ct to 12.55 ct

Electricity: Basic price remains at €9.27, consumption price from 22.23 ct to 34.84 ct

When I see the prices with others sometimes, we’re probably doing quite well..

First of all, a 3-month temporary supply is scheduled. The prices can be really bad during this time. If the supply contract still has a term, simply object to the price increase. See the consumer advice center.

Temporary supply? I thought after cancellation you automatically go into the basic supply? Does that also run through ENBW?

The general tenor is that the energy supplier cannot keep one in the substitute supply but must transfer to the basic supply upon request. From the consumer advice centers: However, you can switch from the substitute supply to the basic supply at any time by declaring your explicit will. That means: You must contact your basic supplier and inform them of this. It is best to do this in writing. If you have been wrongly placed in the substitute supply and would like to switch to the possibly significantly cheaper basic supply instead, you can use our interactive template letter free of charge for an objection.

Senec has now also increased their prices with us. From January 1, 2023, from €38.95 per month to €70.95 for 2,500 kWh cloud usage.
