I just received the email from our utility company. The whole story itself is actually super weird.
Preface: we have a large fish tank, 2 freezers and two refrigerators, some IT. Average consumption without people is about 6 KW per day. Basic consumption. Total per year about 4200 kWh.
In January 22 the electricity tax was reduced and we paid only 13 euros per month instead of 60 euros. I was not comfortable with this amount, so we continued to pay the 60 euros per month. In Aug22 we got our annual bill and guess what? We got a big refund. Around 400 euros. Yes, we were still using about 350 kWh per month.
Now with the energy crisis and all, they say they can't give us a new fixed contract. Everything is calculated on a monthly basis. This means that the price per kWh will change every month. The Dutch government is kind enough to cap the first 2900 kWh at 0.40 ct per kWh. This means a price of 96,66 Euro per month. For the next 1300 kWh we don't know yet what we have to pay. 1 / 2
Assuming 1 Euro per kWh as other companies suggest, we would have to pay addinionally 109 Euros per month. In total, we could end up at 220 Euro per month.
But now with todays letter, they wrote the for NOvember and December everyone gets a 190 Euro discount. Backed by the government. Which is nice. Our current contract is still set to 15 Euros per month. It the discount is true, we would make 175 Euros out of this.
That is so crazy. I don't know what to say. Probably I should talk to the electricity company and tell them to keep it on my account, for “bad times”. Or, if they do a payout, I will most likely donate it to a charity organization. It is so crazy how much money is going around right now. Does that make sense? I don't know.
I hope you are all doing fine and can keep up with the upcoming living/utility costs. 2 / 2
