That really makes my mouth water. A few weeks ago, I explained to the municipal utility that I will be commissioning a heat pump next year and asked how the rates currently look. The response was: "The heat pump tariff has been suspended indefinitely for new customers, which means that as a new customer you now have to pay the regular 0.42€/kWh and from mid-2022 already 0.45€/kWh. In 2023 it could even be 0.50€/kWh, but we can’t say that for sure yet."
But what won’t one do to avoid using nasty gas and oil. :cool:
The only advantage of that horrendous price: in return, I won’t be disconnected from the grid during peak loads as is generally usual with heat pump tariffs. But what if everyone has to do the same now and hardly anyone can be taken off the grid when necessary, and more and more electric vehicles are charged simultaneously?
Then probably a government intervention will occur and there will be enforced temporary disconnection :)
No, kidding aside, this development is really no longer funny.
The noise issue will still be interesting. We ride a lot by bike in the city and by now know some properties where the heat pump can already be heard from 50-100m away. It partly reminds one of the split units behind the Penny market :-D
I am a member of the Verband Wohneigentum e. V and have found out incidentally that there is a framework contract as a service for me with the supplier two villages away, which I could actually join right now. The kWh for under 26 cents... they generate almost everything themselves, mostly with water, and can therefore keep the price. But it only works within their supply area and only for members.
