Gas price increase, the second episode

P.S. gas.de supplies the gas for Grünwelt as a contract partner. Since gas.de has gone bankrupt, now the Grünwelt gas customers have to suffer as well. Grünwelt itself is still okay.

How expensive is the basic supply? Do you know that? Is it worth jumping into the triangle now and somehow getting active?

You have to research that with your provider. It varies locally. I would research that, the cancellation came now just in time for the heating season.

We were with Grünwelt for 5 years - we didn't have anything like that. Everything was fair and consistent.

I have been there once as well. In my perception, Grünwelt is a typical brand that tries to be "on top" in the result lists of the portal through bonus systems. But the bonuses are only given in the first year, and if you don't cancel in time (or only consider the first year in the comparison with two-year contracts), you can be wrong. However, it is often the case that if you don't feel like provider hopping anyway, you can disable bonuses from the search, and oh wonder, providers often have tariffs that are almost equally expensive but don't participate in this whole bonus fuss.

Ask your new supplier if they can bring forward the delivery start.

It wasn't possible for me and Vattenfall. I would have had to revoke the new contract and sign a new one. So now I'll just have one month with GASAG.

As annoying as it is to fall back into a basic tariff for a short time. What are we talking about - €20? I acknowledge that this is a relevant amount in the budget for some people, but I also think that few of them deal with the topic of house building and are represented here.

Assuming that the basic supply is perhaps 4 cents above the normal rate, yes, then the magnitude is perhaps 10-20€ for this month. Truly.

How expensive is the basic supply? Do you know that? Is it worth jumping through hoops now and somehow becoming active?

You have to check with your basic supplier. It’s different for everyone. We had it twice with electricity during the construction phase, as each time the ongoing contract was terminated with every meter change, and we automatically fell into the basic supply tariff. But these were never huge amounts.
