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.

You should check with your main utility provider, as it varies for each one.
We experienced this twice with electricity during the construction phase, where each meter change ended the current contract, and we were then automatically switched to the default tariff. However, these were never large amounts. For electricity, you can backdate the contract start, I believe by 4 or 6 weeks.
I’m not sure if the same applies to gas.

Often, when you’re not interested in constantly switching providers, you can disable the bonuses in the search, and lo and behold, providers often offer tariffs that cost about the same but without all the bonus hassle. So, for me… I always remove the bonuses. Although I might have accepted a bonus when I switched providers 5 years ago.

As annoying as it is to temporarily fall back to a basic tariff, what are we talking about—$20? Honestly? If that’s all it means, I’m not going to bother. I’ll check who my basic supplier is… 😳

What are your heating costs?Apart from that, we are talking about less than €100 per month. Still quite manageable.
And the default supply is not always that expensive (for 10,000 kWh):
Compared to the cheapest offer from Veri...vox:
