Temporary power also through alternative suppliers?

Shell construction phase, until the house electrics are at the point that the final meter is operational. We registered in March and according to the current status, the switch to the regular electricity meter will take place by July/August at the latest. So about half a year, not a prefabricated house.

For us, it was probably around 4 months, but the topic of construction electricity was more like a background noise in the costs. Not much real electricity was consumed, just the mason's saw, a few small things.

Real electricity was only consumed with the proper meter. That was a good 400kWh for screed heating and 400 for the construction dryers. That was already with a switched standard rate.

Ah, all clear. I assumed that the construction electricity is also charged for heating the screed floor. So this will be done with household electricity and then the provider switch would be possible again once the household electricity is running.

Thank you very much!

That's how it was with us, I have also read other variants. But it definitely goes this way round.

I had a real experience last week regarding construction power...

I had taken over a shell construction with a construction power meter – but it was locked and the seller didn’t have a key at the handover. So the reading of the additionally existing intermediate meter was taken.
I then had the utilities transferred to my name... or so I thought. Last week, while I was having a conversation with the civil engineer... a man from the municipal utility company appeared; he was supposed to disconnect the power because the seller hadn’t paid the bill. He then agreed to read the meter and told me to come to the office to sort things out.
It turned out that the form I had filled out was only for water... mea culpa... Now they couldn’t find out what the meter reading was at the handover since the meter wasn’t read.
The suggestion of the man to the service person was: Transfer of contract from last week, since he had read the meter, the previous consumption remains as a claim against the seller (and I had been running a 9kW heater fan for some time...).
I didn’t get construction power either, but a normal tariff (allegedly there was no such thing for private customers, my site manager just said: quick, sign!!), and for my apartment he immediately gave me a cheaper tariff retroactively as well. I felt thoroughly well treated.
