I'm a consumer in Germany, and I pay 250€ for 1.200 kWh (my yearly consumption). I don't know anyone who is paying those high prices mentioned in the articles. There are many electricity providers in Germany, and that creates competition; therefore, you get a lot of cash back by switching providers.

It's most likely due to a rebate or cash back when changing providers. You can save a lot of money by switching providers every 12 months and taking cash back into account. If you have dispatchable loads (i.e. flexible charging of an electric vehicle) and a suitable electricity meter, you can also save a lot of money be choosing a dynamic tariff that tracks market prices (plus taxes etc).

I see only basis (without any kWh consumed) costs:

> Grundpreis: 15,54 € / Monat

There is cash back. When I bought my contract, I got 250€ + 90€ cash back in total after paying the first invoice.

		Ah, that's great! I remember, conditions somewhere were you receive the "treue" bonus after the first year for a 2 year contract. I'm watching how with more sun, oeko-energy price keeps growing (despite every summer before it was cheaper): https://www.naturstrom.de/privatkunden/oekostrom/naturstrom-... > image > Energiepreise der letzten 12 Monate
