According to a report by www.shz.de, there is currently a class action lawsuit against Hansewerk Natur because of allegedly excessive district heating prices. The lawsuit affects around 22,000 households and has a total claim of over 7 million euros. It is claimed that prices were inflated by up to 82%.

As an expert in the field of energy prices, I can say from my experience that such lawsuits can have an impact on the market and consumers. If the lawsuit is substantiated and the inflated prices are confirmed, this could lead to a reduction in district heating prices for consumers. Companies may also be forced to reconsider their prices and offer fairer rates to avoid lawsuits.

Additionally, such lawsuits can undermine consumer trust in utilities and increase pressure on regulators to ensure fair competition and transparent pricing. This could impact the regulation of the energy market and force utilities to rethink their prices and practices.

Overall, lawsuits like these show how important it is to regulate the energy market and protect consumers from excessive prices. It remains to be seen how the lawsuit against Hansewerk Natur will turn out and what impact it will have on the district heating market as a whole.
