Financial expert reports: Consumer advice center provides information on energy issues

According to a report by www.wuppertaler-rundschau.de, the consumer advice center in Wuppertal has advised a large number of people seeking advice on energy issues. In addition to energy advice, legal advice and representation were also offered. The advice center was able to carry out around 10,500 consultations in 2022, which also addressed financial difficulties, energy poverty and problems with telephone providers.

The consumer advice center is one of 63 independent consumer advice centers nationwide and is financed by both the state and the city. She offers advice on various topics, including the energy market, data protection, travel law, and gives tips on saving energy and energy-efficient renovation.

According to the head of the Wuppertal consumer advice center, Michelle Student-Holdstein, the need for advice on energy matters has particularly increased. This is due to large price jumps, incomprehensible billing and payment problems.

The increasing demand for energy advice could impact the energy market as consumers may look for better tariffs and providers or take action to save energy. This could also impact companies in the energy industry, as they may need to adapt their services and products to consumer needs. Depending on the actions consumers take, this could also have an impact on energy consumption and the environment.
