If you are currently completing a new gas contract, you have to dig deeper into your pocket: within one year, prices rose by around 43 percent. The comparison portal Verivox determined this.
The average labor price for new customers is now 10 cents per kilowatt hour – in February 2024 there were still 7 cents. For a model household in a single -family house with a consumption of 20,000 kWh, annual additional costs of around 600 euros.
Several factors drive up the costs:
According to the comparison portal Verivox, there are currently no signs of falling prices. Experts therefore advise you to complete a cheaper guest tariff with a price guarantee in order to protect yourself against further price increases.
Anyone who stays in the basic care tariff pays an average of 13.93 cents/kWh – this results in annual heating costs of 2,786 euros. If you choose a cheap tariff with a price guarantee, you can get 10 cents/kWh – this corresponds to 2,000 euros per year. A tariff change can save up to 800 euros annually.
