we have now been living in our newly built house for six months, and the electricity and gas consumption is starting to stabilize, making it easier to estimate future usage.
After moving in, we initially ended up with the expensive default energy supplier tariff from eon-Avacon. Now, for the first time, I am seriously considering switching. My preliminary research shows that there is significant potential to save money.
Is it really as simple as the internet (well-known comparison websites, etc.) makes it seem?
I’m sure some of you switch providers regularly (annually?). What do you pay attention to when doing so? Does the transition go smoothly? And what are your thoughts on green energy tariffs?

In short, yes and yes. We have been with Vattenfall for a few years now; they also offer bonuses if you stay or renew the contract. Green electricity is certainly possible if that appeals to you. Saying it really appeals to me would be an exaggeration, but when I roughly compare options on Check24 and similar sites, I don’t see any disadvantage to green electricity. So it doesn’t seem to be necessarily more expensive than conventional power. There’s probably no reason not to go for it.
I also change providers every year and always look for the most affordable option. The most challenging part is remembering to cancel the contract or to find a new provider who will handle the cancellation for you. I always choose green energy.
It is important to have a 12-month price guarantee (for a 1-year contract) and not to pay too much in advance.
