ᐅ Installation of a Gas Heating System in New Construction 2023/2024

Hello fellow home builders,

we have started constructing a single-family house. The approved building permit / planning permission includes a gas heating system, which we still want to install.

There are two possible scenarios:

1. What happens if the heating system is installed in October 2023, but the house is only inspected and approved in February 2024?

2. What happens if the heating system is installed in January 2024, and the house is inspected and approved in May 2024?

Both options are difficult to plan for. So far, we do not know whether the construction schedule might be delayed.
I haven't found any information on this. Do you have any further details?

Regards,

Bürgerwerke green electricity prices have also been reduced. From about 59 cents to 39 cents, effective from July.

If I have learned anything during this time, it is that I no longer value green electricity. In theory, the "genuine green electricity" sources without "offset trading" could have continued to procure wind, water, and solar power cheaply over-the-counter. However, I am not aware of any cases where they did not also raise prices in step with everyone else.

As a consumer, buying green electricity does not change the overall energy mix. On the contrary, I might even be promoting deforestation for pellet heating and the related reforestation with new monocultures. Certificates are then issued for this.

The "real green electricity" without "emissions trading" could theoretically still be sourced cheaply over-the-counter from wind, hydro, and solar—but I am not aware of any cases where they didn’t also raise prices in line with everyone else.

As a consumer, buying green electricity does not change the energy mix for me. Rather, I may even be supporting deforestation for pellet heating systems and the associated reforestation with new monocultures. Certificates are issued for that.

Well, the electricity price in Germany is set by this strange system where the most expensive supplier sets the price. As far as I know, even those with "real green electricity" cannot compete with that? I don’t buy into the certificate trading stuff anymore either. I didn’t even know there was a difference in the past. But for several years now, I’ve been with Polarstern or Bürgerwerke, depending on who has the better rate. For every kWh (kilowatt-hour) consumed, a contribution is made to the expansion of renewables. I do believe that this influences the energy mix in the long term. I didn’t understand what green electricity has to do with pellet heating systems?

After the dismissal of the witness case Graichen, the law might even be completely overturned.

It remains exciting...
And the assumption that electricity prices will not rise sharply in 2027 due to the CO2 price is an illusion. Almost 50% of our electricity will still come from coal and gas in 2027, with 15% alone from the extremely dirty lignite coal...

I’m laughing my head off 😀

I’m laughing out loud 😀

Less laughing and more informing, Mr. Engineer.
Calculate the CO2 emissions for 10,000 kWh (10,764 kWh) of gas versus 2,500 kWh (2,691 kWh) of electricity mix.
Then consider the current prices of both energy sources and what the percentage impact actually is.

You’ll see for yourself.

It is also illogical to predict a massive increase in electricity prices in one thread, while in another thread mocking the unprofitability of photovoltaic systems.
