Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Although I can say that the 3 big letters are very accommodating and also very fair with existing contracts (increase of 2 cents per kWh)

A good friend also benefits from the brake.

Apropos electricity. What happens when the electricity contract (31ct/kwh) with the 3 big letters expires on 30.11.22 but I have a price guarantee until 31.12.22 and tacitly renew it. The contract is automatically extended by 1 year without cancellation. As I understand it, the provider must stick to the price until 31.12.23, right?

No, when the price guarantee expires, they are allowed to raise prices, but as far as I know, you then get a special right of termination.

Now also Berlin Berliner Stadtwerke: CURRENT: Price per kWh: 25.91 cents/kWh GG: 8.90 EUR/month from 1.1.23: Price per kWh: 52.90 cents/kWh GG: 8.90 EUR/month Instalment will then increase from January from 117 to 228 EUR

The strange thing is, I just read in the Tagesspiegel Checkpoint that there was a loyalty offer for existing customers. All those who did not accept it are now supposed to have received the increase. But I don't remember the offer at all. I'll follow up on that again... Crazy, the contact form doesn't work - they must be getting a lot of inquiries right now...

No, when the price commitment expires they are allowed to increase, but as far as I know you then have a special right of termination.

I don't understand. If I renew the contract from 01.12., then I have contractual terms which also include the price. And if the contract period runs for 12 months, then both must adhere to the contractual terms, or not? But apparently the supplier is allowed to adjust prices at any time unless there is a price guarantee. I just find it strange that many write that the price is usually increased after the contract term expires. It's now one week before the end and I have not received any mail yet. What is also strange is that I signed up via CheckXX last year at 30.54ct and in the app a unit price of 26.25ct is shown. Well, let's see what the billing shows next week... probably the bonus based on consumption X is included there. When I go to their website, they are currently advertising a work price of 66.95ct o_O

Which is also a good example that the evil speculator is only boiling water with it. At some point, they have to sell to someone who actually buys a good at that price, whether it’s oil, gas, electricity, stocks...
I believe the gas situation for winter is quite well under control. Storage facilities are overfilled, LNG terminals are being put into operation, and tankers are waiting off the coast to sell. Unless pipelines to Norway blow up, Russia will most likely be completely replaced this winter. I never would have expected that in February, and despite all the criticism of our government’s back-and-forth botching, that’s really an achievement that should be appreciated once in a while

only criticism* at the expense of poorer countries, where the situation doesn’t look quite as rosy.
