Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Does anyone believe he will be spared from the increases?

Well, my increases for electricity were in July (51 cents), August (69 cents), and September (54 cents). Since October, again < 34 cents. I pay for what I consume each month.

Then I am curious to see what it will look like in January/February, when hardly any photovoltaics feed in and usually little wind blows, the heat pumps are roaring at -5°C, and gas, at least for electricity generation, is no longer available because it must be saved...

At that point, even 1 EUR/kWh is not unrealistic if the supplier buys on the spot market.

The real crisis is yet to come anyway. This year we were supplied with Russian gas until the summer... that will not happen in 2023.

Well, you can still hope that such a company oriented towards the common good with 100% municipal participation (Berliner Wasserbetriebe = institution under public law) that is also a producer itself and not just a pure trader, does things differently somehow.

Which provider? Is that something like Tibber?

Just did the electricity comparison as well. It’s really incredible how boldly everyone actually exceeds the cap. You really notice what a lousy idea such a cap is.

I was just at the electricity comparison. It's really unbelievable how brazenly everyone really goes over the cap. You can really tell what a ridiculous idea such a cap is.

Yeah, it's totally brazen of the companies that they don't want to lose money but want to make money. I also think the employees of the utilities should forgo their salaries this year, this is not acceptable.

Which provider? Is it something like Tibber?

Yeah, not for penny pinchers. But currently quite glad that I have them. You know what you pay...

It is exactly like with the fuel discount. Through such a cap, the large corporations pocket the taxpayer billions, since the electricity price happens to be just as high as the cap price. But as a politician, I would also be reluctant to make such decisions in a short amount of time. Because no one really has the perfect solution for such a crisis.
