Electricity and gas providers are currently in a financial crisis. Increased electricity and gas prices mean that costs are passed on to customers. You can do that against it.
Hamburg – Energy prices are rising and consumers are powerless? Not quite. Electricity and gas providers are currently in an awkward position, but not every increase in costs has to be passed on to the citizens. In Hamburg, too, consumers are currently struggling with sharp increases in electricity and gas prices.
* 24hamburg.de reveals here what options hamburgers have when it comes to price increases for electricity and gas.
Wholesalers’ prices for electricity and gas are extremely high at the moment. The reason is the scarcity of resources, but these are in high demand. Providers who do not have long-term deals currently have to buy expensive and therefore also want to increase the costs for their customers. An objection can be lodged against this because the strong increases usually violate the applicable price guarantee. If you get a termination from your provider, you don’t have to panic either. If you terminate your gas or electricity provider, you automatically fall into the local basic supply. In Hamburg this is the E.on group.
The consumer can also look around for a new provider. Although the costs for these are currently usually even higher than for the basic service, if you still find a good offer – for example on a comparison portal – you can of course switch. The basic service can be terminated within two weeks. * 24hamburg.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
