Dies ist das erste Mal, dass ich den Strom selbst bezahle. Ich bin mir nicht 100 % sicher, wie es funktioniert, es gibt einen großen Unterschied zwischen dem örtlichen Stromversorger (41,50 €) und den anderen, die ich auf der Check24-Website gefunden habe. Ich habe mich gefragt, ob es versteckte Gebühren gibt oder worauf ich achten sollte.
Nach meinem Verständnis gibt es eine Grundgebühr, die ich jeden Monat unabhängig vom Verbrauch zahle, dann gibt es noch den Tarif/kWh. Aber wenn ich diese addiere (29,23€+8,74€), komme ich nicht auf den monatlichen Preis von 25,84€. Was fehlt mir hier?
Was mache ich, wenn ich an einen neuen Ort ziehe?
Das Gleiche gilt für das Internet.
Danke!

Because the estimated cost isn’t calculated based on you using 100 kWh per month. You multiplied the price per kWH by 100 (why?) and then added it to the base price.
octopus is fine. I using them without any problems.
But check their website first, they might have a better rate.
To answer your question: Click on „Traif- und Preisdetails“. Everything is there. No hidden fees.
>Same thing with internet
Just look at the different providers and go for the cheapest one that’s available Look at eazy and providers like sim.de. I’d look for nothing under 50mbit/s if possible. Avoid Telekom, expensive and bad peering.
The shown average monthly price is including all discounts shown in the middle. Right next to it there is the actual average monthly price shown (34 Euros).
1. You also get a bonus in the first year with most providers (as a new costumer). CHECK24 usually shows you the monthly price for first year including the bonus. After one year it gets more expensive if you don’t switch to a new provider again.
2. If you move, you take the contract with you to your new place. If the provider can’t provide electricity/Internet in your new place, you have the right to cancel the contract even if the minimum time in the contract hasn’t passed yet.
To get the ø price/mo quoted there, you take the base price, plus the rate per kWh times your estimated consumption, minus any one-time bonus payments divided by the minimum contract time.
There aren’t any additional fees, but the price is only this low for the first 12 months (or whatever the minimum contract time is), after that you’ll have to switch again. It’s annoying but saves a lot of money, I recommend setting a reminder.
One trap you should watch out for is that for contracts with longer minimum times, they sometimes only quote the average price for the first year – the second year might be significantly more expensive.
Basically: make sure to weed out anything that’s a „dynamic tariff“ – you’ll only want those in a few special circumstances but they tend to show up on top.
Set your filters for „preisgarantie“ to the highest setting (usually a guaranteed price that includes everything except a changing of the tax rate) and to 12 months.
Then pick the cheapest option.
Here you can basically go two ways:
– include bonuses. You’ll get some bonus now and a bonus after a year, but you’ll pay a higher price during that time. Absolutely switch after the first year.
– exclude bonuses. Usually lower prices.
Most often it doesn’t make too much of a difference in total. Option one can save you a few bucks at the cost of definitely having to switch after the first year. Option two is more worry free (but often they’ll try and raise prices after the first year anyway, in that case I highly recommend to reevaluate ).
