From the new year, the energy company N-Ergie is increasing prices for electricity and natural gas. According to the company, customers will face different levels of additional financial burden depending on the product chosen and their individual consumption.
The upcoming gas price increase, according to N-Ergie, is due to legally mandated higher CO₂ emission costs, as well as increased network usage fees. The supplier emphasizes that prices for electricity and natural gas were significantly reduced a year ago.
Customers will be informed about the specific price changes via personal letters. Furthermore, there is an option to adjust monthly advance payments online. The new prices will also be published on the company’s website.
Tariffs and Base Rate: N-Ergie Provides Calculations
Next year, electricity consumption tariffs will decrease, while the base rate will see a slight increase. For the “Strom Smart” product, this means an additional burden of approximately €1.55 per month for a three-person household with an annual consumption of 3,500 kilowatt-hours. This corresponds to a price increase of about 1.5 percent in 2026.
For natural gas, the base rate remains unchanged; however, the consumption tariff for the “Erdgas Smart” product will increase by 0.48 cents per kilowatt-hour. As a result, a three-person household with an annual consumption of 18,000 kilowatt-hours should expect additional costs of about €7.14 per month – an increase of approximately 4.5 percent.
Gas and electricity prices consist of a base rate – a fixed charge set by the energy company regardless of consumption. It includes, for example, costs for the meter, its maintenance, and reading. The consumption tariff, in turn, includes state-regulated components such as taxes, levies, and network fees, and is calculated for each kilowatt-hour consumed.
