Germany’s electricity prices DOUBLE as “green” nightmare kicks in
01/23/2024 / By Belle Carter


German multinational electric utility company E.ON recently announced a piece of bitter news to its consumers – it is having a hefty double-the-price increase effective shortly.

“Consumers who heat with electricity and live in E.ON’s basic supply area have so far been able to benefit from relatively low prices for the basic heating electricity supply despite the energy crisis. But that will soon be over,” said the North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) consumer advice center. The notice period is two weeks after the firm has been provided with existing customers in the Alternative Tariff Offer.

NRW also gave important tips for those who wanted to leave. “Since the choice of heating electricity [rates] is smaller than with household electricity, we recommend that you first allow a longer contract term of up to 24 months in the filter settings. However, a shorter maturity of only twelve months is recommended,” Mueller explained as per the English-translated site. “To find a suitable heating electricity [rate], consumers need to know how the heating current is measured in them, which means which electricity meters are installed.” She also said that it would make sense to ask local providers about rate options because not all rates options would be found on the comparison portals.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Biden's wrong domestic energy and Global Climate Change policies are responsible for the stickiness of energy inflation.

Electricity will be the worst - because it's losing affordable traditional supply and replacement sources are far more expensive - as demand is increasing.

If you think of it, aren't coal, oil, and natural gas bio-fuels because they are the result of natural processes trasnforming organic bio-mass into solid, liquid, and gas fuels over millions of years?
