Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

You are one of a kind. I assumed as prior knowledge that the municipal utilities from Flensburg do not necessarily supply customers in Freiburg.

Who is so and asks every municipal utility in Germany? You take the municipal utilities in the area where you could assume they also deliver to you. For everything else, there are comparison portals.

Thank you. On the one hand, there are municipal utilities that do indeed supply hundreds of kilometers away - I've already found a few. On the other hand, I am a woman^^. Of course, I tried the ones in the area; they are all significantly more expensive or do not accept our postal code. The municipal utilities usually don’t even appear on the comparison portals; they are not listed there. I’m not that clever^^ either.

Of course, there are municipal utilities that also supply a few hundred kilometers away.

Exactly, and it actually should be a social market economy. Because anyone who goes to the gas station now will wonder why fuel prices are now just as high as during the fuel price cap?

Is it like that where you are? Here they are about 20 cents more expensive than at the time of the price cap. However, there are extremely strong fluctuations of over 20 cents. I refueled yesterday for 1.74, but in the last few days it went up to almost 2 euros.

Of course there are. But finding a handful among hundreds of municipal utilities outside your own region that supply and also offer a better price is really tedious. It’s not worth the effort. And you can also filter supraregional municipal utilities through portals. For example, I received an offer for electricity from one about 80 km away, which I also accepted.

The gas price has continued to fall. The panic has subsided.

On the market, yes, but not with the end consumers. It will take a little longer until it reaches them :rolleyes:

Is it like that with you? Here they are about 20 cents more expensive than at the time of the price cap. However, there are extremely strong fluctuations of over 20 cents. I refueled yesterday at 1.74, but in the last few days it went up to almost 2 euros.

Did you have prices under 1.70 during the price cap? For us, the prices were rather from 1.85 but mostly around 1.95-2 euros... Now they are mostly between 1.90 and 2 euros as well.
