I have changed our current electricity provider for the heat pump and noticed that the basic fee has increased, roughly double compared to the previous provider.
In the end, the total amount is reasonable due to many discounts, so it's not really a problem, but it still bothers me a bit.
What disadvantages could still arise that I might not be aware of?
The stated kW figure was also incorrect; I had it changed because I mistakenly used values from previous years for comparison. Fortunately, we only consumed 4400 kW last year.

26.7 cents per kWh is very affordable for household electricity, currently it’s around 31 cents in our postal code area. The electricity for the heat pump is actually even cheaper because of off-peak rates. I often read values of 20-21 cents per kWh.
Well, the cancellation is done. The old contract still runs until May. Now waiting for confirmation and looking for a new one.

Hello,
after experiencing the bankruptcy of BEV (I was lucky enough to receive the discount/reward beforehand, so I didn’t lose much money overall), I have developed the habit of only signing contracts without any discounts, bonuses, or instant rewards. Surprisingly, these contracts are only about 2-3% more expensive and don’t come with a 12-month minimum contract period. In other words, you can cancel anytime with a 2-4 week notice. This makes things much more relaxed, and you don’t have to constantly check whether the bonus has actually been applied correctly. In the past, about every third provider just forgot to include it—quite conveniently...
Best regards,
Andreas
