Overview

  • From June 6, electricity providers must complete technical switches within one working day under the new EU directive.
  • Households are required to supply their 11-digit Marktlokations-Identifikationsnummer (MaLo-ID) when initiating a switch.
  • Retroactive enrollments or cancellations of electricity contracts will no longer be permitted after the rule takes effect.
  • Existing contract termination periods and durations remain unchanged despite the accelerated switching process.
  • Consumers are advised to verify their MaLo-ID and plan contract changes in advance to avoid potential delays during the transition.
