Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

So.. I have now simply written an email to our provider and asked for an adjustment of the offer.. I also attached the Elli Strom example right away. I don't really believe in miracles, but I didn't want to leave it untried. We might possibly have to switch (which I'm otherwise not a fan of at all).

Honestly? Chasing after the provider… I wouldn’t even think of it in my wildest dreams. But the providers count on the inconvenience of switching. I wouldn’t even know why, as a provider, I should give special conditions to an individual customer in such a mass business. And in the end, at the next opportunity, you get an increase… nothing gained…

I did that for a while once a year and always farmed the new customer bonuses. It's really not a problem at all. Your new provider usually takes care of all formalities for you. You hardly notice anything except that you have to file a few letters.

Do you have experience with Elli VW electricity?

No, I don’t. But since my 23.15 cents/kWh rate ends at the end of July, Elli would currently be the first choice. I expect that my current provider will likely raise prices. Despite the then missing discount, I would be at 27 cents... but again with the risk that there could be an increase every month, which I could offset with Elli’s 29.xx cents. But something like Fuxx as a cheap option seems a bit suspicious to me given the reviews.

I also did that every year until last year, for gas and electricity. I never had any problems with any providers. You just have to be careful not to buy annual packages.

We also switch back and forth cheerfully. It hardly takes any effort but saves a lot of money. In my experience, as a regular customer you always end up paying more than new customers at some point, and I absolutely do not accept that.

What do you mean by that?? Elli Strom "Blue" is an annual package... hmm... how else do you keep the price fixed for a year?
