Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

kWh household electricity now 20Ct more expensive. kWh heat pump electricity now 17Ct more expensive... about 50% increase. Somehow I had hoped that it wouldn't rise so drastically here because of the small municipal utility and the large amount of wind energy produced right outside the doorstep.

but you didn't really believe that, did you?

Yesterday dropped in: from 34 to 38 cents/kWh. I had feared more or even a cancellation, as I currently actually wouldn’t be in their supply area anymore. New contracts via comparison portals exclusively >50 cents/kWh, trend towards 70 cents, increasingly more providers (municipal utilities) even >€1.

My heart almost stopped halfway yesterday when I received an email from the [Stadtwerke] saying that our electricity price would be adjusted from January. I already saw myself writing a protest (we still have price protection until the end of 2023), and then I saw in the online portal that it was merely the [Offshoreumlage] and an increase of 0.15 ct/kWh. Lucky me.

dashast du aber nicht wirklich geglaubt, oder?

no. I also made a mistake: not increased by 50% but almost doubled. Energy transition as ordered, delivered accordingly...

They are working intensively to shut down the heat pump :)

Heat pump electricity over 30/35 cents simply makes it not economical...

People are working hard to shut down the heat pump :) Heat pump electricity over 30/35 cents simply makes the thing not economical...

How can that be, when the heat pump is 4-5 times more efficient than a gas heater? ;)
