ᐅ Electricity provider change results in a higher base fee!

413 € base fee?

The proportion of variable costs (price per kWh) is higher.

For the provider with the higher kWh price, the fixed fee is lower, so this provider has more security for themselves but I have disadvantages if I consume significantly less.

If these are actually calculated based on the stated 3000 kWh,

It is a 2-rate electricity meter, so 5800 kWh is specified, not 3000.

But here lies the problem: if, for example, I pay a 100 euro (approximately $100) prepayment, the higher fixed fee remains the same, only the kWh changes, and that is essentially the disadvantage I worry about.
The fixed fee is paid monthly, but the question also arises in case of bankruptcy. The contract states an annual fixed fee—if the company goes bankrupt in the first month, do I have to pay the full annual fee or just the monthly portion?

Okay, there it is—they are hoping it will be overlooked.

@Nordlys I can still withdraw.

Minus 270 € new customer bonus, which is about 15% of the payment installment.

Minus 160 € immediate bonus

If you can get out of that, do it. Annual base price, bonuses... that would be too risky for me. Instead, enter your data on Verivox without bonuses or any prepayments, then only consider providers that are either municipal utilities, unlikely to go bankrupt, or have been on the market for a long time. That’s how we do it, even at the service office.

This setup seems too unclear and complicated to me as well! Since 2002, I have regularly switched through Check 24, but I have never encountered so many ifs and buts before.

I checked. SW here, our supplier, charges 97 per year for the basic fee and 26.7 kWh. Renewable energy, wind is abundant here. No pump tariff. I find your provider expensive without the bonuses. And we have quality electricity, that nice blue on the TV, it really shines.
