Tender for electricity for the cottage
Competition for electricity for a cottage and other leisure apartments can be done in the same way as for households:
1) Examine your electricity consumption and needs
2) Competition for electricity for a cottage
3) Make a new cheap electricity contract. If you only spend time at the cottage for a few weeks in the summer, stock exchange electricity is the best option for you. It is valid for an indefinite period, and you only pay for the use of electricity.
Changing an electricity contract is not always worth it
Changing to a new 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 bankrupt , which caused problems for many customers.

Duration of the new electricity contract
The electricity contract can be valid for an indefinite period (continuing contract) or a fixed-term contract. A Fixed-term contract usually lasts 12 or 24 months. The contract cannot be canceled before the date mentioned in the terms and conditions - neither the customer nor the electricity company.
Even if you find a cheaper electricity contract, you cannot change a fixed-term contract in the middle of the contract period.
If you conclude a continuous electricity contract, a notice period of two (2) weeks applies. The electricity company can change the price of the contract with one (1) month's notice.

Why can't electricity transmission be tendered?
Electricity transmission cannot be tendered for the following reasons:
- Nature of infrastructure: Electricity transmission networks, such as power lines and transformers, are expensive and require extensive physical infrastructure to be built and maintained. Often these networks belong to regional network companies, which are responsible for the distribution and transmission of electricity in a certain area.
- Natural monopoly position: The nature of electricity transmission networks creates a natural monopoly where one grid company can provide efficient and economically sustainable electricity transmission in a given area.
- Regulation: Electricity transmission is a heavily regulated activity, and the operation of network companies is subject to precise regulations and supervision. Regulation helps ensure that electricity transmission networks are reliable, safe and fair for all customers.
