It finally hit us too — as of March 1, 2023, EON significantly increased our electricity prices. With an annual consumption of about 5,000 kWh, we were now expected to pay 2,152.17 € instead of 1,280.67 € per year. That’s an increase of 68%, from 0.23 € to 0.408 € per kWh. The energy price cap saves us about 40 € per year at these prices, since the new price is only slightly above the 40 cent threshold.
