Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

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?

Hey hausbau-forum, instead of deleting the posts from and the responses to them, just please ban the user right away. Absolutely dishonorable action, I put a lot of effort into my "Our roof is full and the battery storage is in the basement, Bausparfuchs loves me for it" post.

why should the price then go down.

As a long-term trend, maybe not. But basically, the last six months have felt (at least to me) a bit like panic in the market. "Better to raise the price too much than too little." Gas prices have already fallen again for new customers compared to August (they're still almost four times higher than last summer... but no longer seven to eight times higher like at the end of August... - source was an article in Handelsblatt). So the electricity prices going back down a bit again, at least for a while, doesn't sound so unlikely to me now. I don't see anything falling back to pre-crisis levels, but maybe somewhere in between.

I don’t know… our electricity provider seems to have forgotten us. Still the same installments with 8 € basic fee and 20.1 cents per kWh.
