Common Questions
Should I switch electricity providers now or wait?
Now is a good time to switch. Prices have stabilized after the 2022/2023 spikes. By choosing a tariff with a Preisgarantie (price guarantee), you lock in current rates for 12-24 months and are protected if prices rise. Waiting doesn't offer any advantage.
What is a Preisgarantie and why is it important?
A Preisgarantie is a price guarantee - the provider promises not to increase your rate for a set period (usually 12-24 months). This is valuable because electricity prices can fluctuate. With a guarantee, your monthly costs stay predictable regardless of market changes.
Will electricity prices go up or down in 2025?
Experts expect stable prices in 2025, around 30-35 cents/kWh. The extreme volatility of 2022/2023 is over. That said, predicting exact prices is impossible - that's why a price guarantee is your best protection. Lock in now while rates are reasonable.
Is green electricity (Ökostrom) more expensive in 2025?
Not anymore! Green electricity tariffs are often the same price or cheaper than conventional power. Renewable energy production costs have dropped significantly. Many providers now offer competitive Ökostrom tariffs - you can help the environment without paying more.
