Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Understandable, but irrelevant, since the electricity price cap is at 40 cents ;)

I haven't read the regulations, so maybe a stupid question: What about (extremely) rising basic fees?

Price increase N-Ergie as of 1.1.: + 21.28 cents (gross) per kWh to 47.12 cents + 0.99 euros (gross) base price to 8.43 euros. Opinions?

Well, it was foreseeable. I still signed a contract at 34 cents with a price lock until 2024 before the decision on the electricity price cap in August. Some basic supply beneficiaries looked at me weirdly why someone would do that... Nice when you're right every now and then

I have not read the regulations now, so maybe a stupid question: What about (extremely) rising base fees?

As far as I know, they remain with the customer. There is no cap.

The increase there is not that great either and there is still some competition. Today it was said that households with a heat pump installed from '22 will receive a special calculation for the electricity price cap. I'm curious about that.

Let's wait and see how everything develops... We have until 05/24 for 25.55

In the medium term, however, I see prices going down...

The electricity price has only known one direction for 30 years. And that is upwards. All forecasts predicting falling prices have proven to be wrong.

If more and more electricity is consumed, but production is decreasing and, above all, becoming more expensive, why should the price then go down?
