The attentive user knows that I am not only referring to my gas price increase. See https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/gaspreiserhoehung-zum-1-1-2022.41836/
The switch was successfully completed on 01.01.22 (January 1, 2022). Tomorrow, the direct debit authorization will be signed and sent.
But today we received an email from the old supplier: they are terminating our contract as of 02.12.2031 (December 2, 2031) and stopping the supply immediately.

We hereby terminate the existing gas supply contract between us as of 02.12.2021 (December 2, 2021). On this date, we have stopped the supply of gas.

If you have received a price change from us with effect after 02.12.2021 (December 2, 2021), please consider it invalid.

As you may have seen in the media coverage, we have been facing an unprecedented price explosion at the European energy trading markets for several weeks, caused by an extraordinary combination of various factors.

The situation on the European natural gas market is particularly drastic. Recently, the gas prices for deliveries during the upcoming winter period have spiked by more than 400% on the procurement markets at peak levels.
😱
From now on, we are insured by law... uh... forcibly supplied — basic supply and legally guaranteed.

How much does the basic supply cost? Do you know? Is it worth jumping into the triangle now and taking some action?

Grünwelt is a peculiar provider anyway, who exploits customers in the second contract year through high base prices.

Well, let's see when all the trouble calms down.
Hopefully soon, I will need AdBlue soon. In a neighboring forum, craftsmen are already in trouble because they have to supply their fleet with AdBlue.

We were with Grünwelt for 5 years – we never experienced anything like that. Everything was fair and consistent.

I would take action. Even a short period with the basic supplier can get quite costly. I had that situation last year with electricity. It wasn’t cheap, so switching didn’t pay off at all.

Back when we still had gas, I purchased from greenpeace-energy. By doing so, I exposed myself to the possible illusion of directing the money in the right way. The good feeling this created then gave me peace of mind.

A contract is a contract; this applies to both parties.
If you have not given notice (except for the change, of course), you should object. See also the article in Handelsblatt.

And then? Will the supply still be stopped and you have to take legal action? And then? In the end, you sue a bankrupt company, lose money, and still have to buy your gas from somewhere else.
