Overview

• Electricity prices for households are unlikely to drop significantly in 2025 due to rising network fees and other non-energy costs, despite stabilized wholesale prices.
• Gas prices are expected to increase, driven by higher network charges, adjustments in CO2 pricing, and a raised gas storage levy.
• Some electricity and gas providers have announced slight price adjustments, with both increases and decreases depending on the type of contract and provider region.
• Fernwärme (district heating) prices are projected to decline moderately, reflecting lower gas costs and market normalization after recent volatility.
• Consumer advocates recommend reviewing contracts and exploring alternative providers using comparison tools to ensure competitive rates.
