How to reduce your electricity costs with a dynamic electricity tariff - tips from financial expert Claus Funk

According to a report by www.zvw.de, qualified engineer Claus Funk shows how you can reduce your electricity costs by switching to a dynamic electricity tariff. By using exchange electricity and the use of technical aids, consumers can individually control their electricity consumption and use it at affordable prices.

Costs for the office: Claus Funk reports significant cost savings for his engineering office by switching to a dynamic electricity tariff. By installing PV systems, power storage batteries and solar thermal systems, electricity consumption was significantly reduced. This led to a reduction in electricity costs by more than half.

Electricity price fluctuations: Claus Funk explains that electricity prices depend on various factors such as the weather and the type of electricity generation. A higher proportion of renewable energy in the grid leads to cheaper prices, while the use of coal and gas causes prices to rise.

Technical requirements: In order to benefit from a dynamic electricity tariff, a digital electricity meter and a reading head with a bridge are required. These devices allow consumers to track their electricity consumption on their cell phone at any time and optimize consumption.

Pros and Cons: The Baden-Württemberg Consumer Center emphasizes that dynamic electricity tariffs can offer advantages for households with heat pumps or electric cars. However, it is important to keep an eye on the current electricity price and to show a certain degree of flexibility in energy consumption. On the other hand, people with a tight budget and low electricity consumption could incur additional costs with a dynamic tariff.

Changing provider: The consumer advice center recommends analyzing the current contract conditions and your own consumption before changing provider. It is also advisable to commit to a new energy contract for a maximum of twelve months and to prefer tariffs with a price guarantee. In addition, consumers should pay attention to the contract conditions regarding notice periods and billing modalities.
