🌇 Apartment | 1 000 – 3 000 kWh |
🏡 Terraced apartment | 3 000 – 10 000 kWh |

Bidding for electricity online - is it safe?
Bidding for electricity online is generally safe, because you end up via comparison websites directly on the website of the electricity companies with which you conclude the electricity contract yourself. Please note, however, that not all comparison websites actively update their prices, in which case the price information may be incorrect. We, therefore, recommend that you also check the prices on the websites of the electricity companies themselves and study the more detailed conditions there, so that you know for sure what you are committing to.
Bidding for an electricity contract is not always worth it
Competition for an electricity contract does not always guarantee automatic savings. If your current contract is competitive and offers good terms, you may be better off keeping it. Last year, during the energy crisis a few electricity companies went bust, which caused problems for many customers. This is a good example of the fact that you should not always run after the cheapest price, but you should always consider competition at least when the current contract ends or when the price of electricity has risen significantly.
