Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

kWh household electricity now 20Ct more expensive. kWh WP electricity now 17Ct more expensive... approx. 50% increase. Somehow I had hoped that it wouldn't rise so drastically for us because of the small municipal utility and the fact that a lot of wind energy is produced right on our doorstep.

Is egal, meiner hat solche Bonzenfeatures nicht. ;)

A Bonzenfeature would be if the beeping stopped in response to voice control (shut up!).

The catch with awattar/tibber is the initial conversion to a smart meter. That can apparently take quite a while.
Smart meters are also expensive (€100 p.a.) and of course, that cost remains unless you convert again, if you want to turn your back on these providers.

At least Tibber has now released an add-on for meters with a data interface. The thing is simply plugged onto the "INFO interface." Most newer meters have this type of infrared interface.

Apart from that: The meter belongs to the metering point operator and has nothing to do with the electricity provider.

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.
