Focus on energy prices: This is how consumers can benefit from falling purchasing prices and save money at the same time

According to a report by www.mdr.de, energy providers can purchase gas and electricity significantly cheaper again, which could potentially benefit consumers. However, the specific advantage depends heavily on the individual tariff. The Thuringian consumer advice center advises basic service customers to check their tariffs and change if necessary.

According to the consumer advice center, the basic supply tariff for many local suppliers is no longer necessarily in the cheapest range. The prices at Thuringian suppliers for basic services range between 35 and 86 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity and 9 to 27 cents for gas. Due to the large price differences, customers are advised to compare different providers and check one-year contracts with fixed prices.

The consumer advice center also warns against dubious providers and recommends that customers seek advice, especially when switching from basic service to other contracts. There is a large selection of different tariffs, with fixed prices and terms having a strong influence on pricing. In addition, the Federal Cartel Office is increasingly monitoring price developments among energy providers in order to prevent abuses and ensure fair pricing.

Overall, customers are advised to review their current energy contracts and compare tariffs to realize potential savings. The market for electricity and gas in Thuringia shows large price differences, which can have a positive effect on consumers when tariffs change.
