ᐅ Air source heat pump electricity price increased as of January 1, 2022

Hello,

Our provider EnbW has increased the price as of January 1, 2023. We have an HT/NZ meter. The current price is 28.76 cents per kWh (previously 16.16) and the base price remains 10.27. The tariff is EnBW NaturWärme Pro. That is about a 70% increase.

What prices are you seeing from 2023 onwards? Is it worth switching providers or is there any way to get a better deal? Apparently, the price for heat electricity is also supposed to be capped.

Starting January 1st, I will also pay 28 cents/kWh and a 110€ (about $120) annual base fee for the heat pump tariff.

I think a cap will be introduced. That makes sense.
However, I imagine it will be around 30 cents/kWh.
Somehow, people need to be encouraged to save energy.

I understood the previous reports to mean that it’s not heat flow in general that is capped, but that those who installed a heat pump from 2022 onward have a slightly higher allowance in kilowatt-hours.
But as always, nothing is really certain 😉

However, this is not a solution for those with a second meter. Otherwise, the utility company could raise the price for the heat pump tariff as much as they want 😉

I hope for an additional cap on the heat pump tariff, provided it is 100% green.

I assume cap means cap. So 40 cents per kWh for electricity. No matter what kind of electricity it is.

P.S. 33 cents per kWh since 11/01 for general electricity, heat pump electricity is significantly more expensive for me (which is why I only have one tariff).

The second meter would also be capped at 80% of the previous year’s consumption, up to a maximum of 40 cents (¢) 😉
Probably no one considered these kinds of situations beforehand. Our government always acts rather... spontaneously... and then gets surprised by the practical problems.
