Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Not directly construction costs but since I classify it here as fuel for the builder: today bought ready-made venison goulash on the market in a pouch, about 500-600g for €19.90. Last time about 3 months ago it was still around €16. There is an abundance of deer here, only the ammunition is no longer available or outrageously expensive.

Phew... That’s a lot – roughly, which area is your "area"? Goulash?! Such prices are usually for loin? (At least here with us...)

What are you doing about the electricity price increase? We received the information letter from n-ergie a few weeks ago. Electricity price practically doubled. Are you filing an objection or would we get the original price anyway in case the increase was not lawful?

I consider the increase from 30.9 to 40.9 cents a stroke of luck, as it only amounts to a projected approx. 35 - 40€ per month for me.

Hi,

got n-ergie. Electricity price virtually doubled.

we had that too, from 25 to 48 cents/kWh. We simply canceled and switched to Stadtwerke Schwabach for 36 cents/kWh. The announcement that electricity price increases from 1.1.23 were to be prevented came too late for us. However, I haven’t heard anything more about that issue; I suspect the plan has also fallen by the wayside. Legally, that would probably be a difficult case.

Whether these increases are lawful is apparently very, very doubtful, but hardly provable in retrospect. There are plenty of calculations and examples from expert people on the subject. The gist in the end (simplified) is: The share of fuel costs in total electricity generation is comparatively low and only fuel costs for gas power plants have increased. Thus, price increases should actually amount to a maximum of 5 cents, at worst 10 cents/kWh if you calculate very pessimistically. The extremes of 50-75 cents/kWh lack any basis.

If you object, N-ergie will probably want to kick you out of the contract. It would actually be quite interesting to find out what happens then. But do you have the desire, time, and energy to engage in a years-long legal dispute?

Best regards,

only the ammunition is no longer available or insanely expensive.

Depending on caliber/model, you currently have to pay around 5€ per cartridge... if you can even get any at all...

Everything else has also gotten more expensive... rifles, scopes, tools for further processing...

You really have to take it all in.
