Construction site electricity costs for shell construction without screed drying

Was his electricity meter also checked? Maybe the combination of the CEE16A socket and the meter should be checked as well.

What is the point of checking the combination? Or what could be wrong with his socket that so much power is lost?

Still, you should somehow come to an agreement, for the sake of future neighborhood relations. Maybe start with half/half and after some time (and another billing period) look at it again or something? If his consumption is significantly higher again, he pays it fully retroactively; if not, you keep it at 50/50 because it can't be definitively clarified. Or something like that.

We already tried that, but he refuses. Either we pay everything or he wants to involve a lawyer.
You can believe me, this is really getting to us right now. Not even moved in and already this kind of trouble for something we are actually not responsible for.

People, take a photo before connecting and afterwards or document it. Like during a flat handover. I would pay it for him.

Photos exist. But they don’t help us because the neighbor insists on his "right."

What is the test in combination supposed to achieve? Or what could be wrong with his socket that so much power is lost?

We already tried that but he won’t agree to it. Either we pay everything or he wants to involve a lawyer. You can believe me, this is really wearing us out right now. Not even moved in yet and already this kind of trouble that we are actually not responsible for.

Photos are available. But that doesn’t help us because the neighbor insists on his "right".

But what are the photos of? Of your meter? That is not worth anything at first. Rather the meter on the main line. Well, and if the neighbor is already threatening with a lawyer now

Yes, we only took pictures of the construction power meter. By the way, the distribution board is now hanging behind our meter because the sub-distribution is not finished yet and we still need electricity. Incidentally, the construction power meter and our meter run exactly the same. If it really comes to the point that a lawyer is involved, under which law can he act? Is it construction law or civil law? I'm not very familiar with this area.

The neighbor voluntarily helped you, so you should bear the risk. That's how I see it. It's a stupid situation for everyone, but you are building, not the neighbor.

1,000 € is currently not much for you during the construction; you have many other costs. For the neighbor, 1,000 € higher electricity costs for a favor to you is certainly a lot.

Have the current, previous, and upcoming electricity bills given to you. In one year, you sit down together again and look at the three years' consumption - preferably in friendship.

1k€ is not much for you in construction currently, you still have completely different costs. For the neighbor, 1000 € higher electricity costs for a favor to you are certainly a lot.

Have the current and previous, as well as the upcoming electricity bill given to you. In a year, meet again - preferably in friendship.

That's probably how I would do it too, otherwise the neighborhood will be completely ruined. If the upcoming electricity bill is again 4800, it will somehow have been your fault.

If the upcoming electricity bill is 4800 again, it must have been somehow your fault.

Since we also added a few weeks this year, the risk is very high that he consumed more again and then we pay once more? Honestly, I don't see that. We can't just pay 5-8 times the electricity that others pay according to my research. Even if we still have many costs ahead, we have to stick to our calculation somewhere.
And for what reason could it have been our fault? Our meters will hardly both run incorrectly, especially since the construction power meter has already been checked.
