More and more municipal utilities are now terminating their existing contracts. What to do?

Frankfurt The letter seems friendly, but it packs a punch. Stadtwerke Düsseldorf informed many customers in November that the decision had been made to stop the supply of electricity and gas outside of North Rhine-Westphalia. “For you, this means that we can no longer supply you with gas.”

Düsseldorf is not an isolated case, other municipal utilities are now in the process of parting with old customers. The background is clear: In view of the current prices on the energy trading platforms, many suppliers are rethinking their strategy.

This comes as a nasty surprise to many property owners. Because many energy companies offer new customers hardly any new contracts – and if they do, then at very high rates. A change in winter usually has severe negative financial consequences for those affected.

The uncertainty is therefore great for many of those affected. Can homeowners fight back? And how can you react if your electricity or gas provider terminates the contract? What are the consequences for real estate users?
