Electricity costs in Munich will rise significantly in the new year.

Other Bavarian cities such as Nuremberg and Fürth are not spared either.

Munich – At the turn of the year, electricity will become more expensive for many households in Bavaria.

According to the municipal companies, prices will rise on January 1st in Munich, Nuremberg, Fürth and Augsburg, among other places.

The very high procurement prices are having an increasing impact on the costs for customers, according to Stadtwerke München (SWM), for example.

Electricity prices rise in Bavaria at the turn of the year: Energy prices in Munich increase by 122.7 percent

According to SWM, energy prices in Munich have risen by 122.7 percent: The annual costs for a household with two people then rise to an average of 1675.67 euros.

The energy price increases on average from 24.97 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) to 61.89 cents per kWh in the new year.

However, SWM boss Florian Bieberbach emphasized: "We will not turn off anyone who contacts us and tries to find a constructive solution."

Electricity prices are also rising in Nuremberg and Fürth

According to the network operator N-Ergie, the price of electricity in Nuremberg for the most popular product will increase on average from 23.49 cents to 44.77 cents per kWh.

A household that consumes 3,500 kWh per year with this tariff comes up with additional monthly costs of around 63 euros.

In order to cushion the costs, the operator recommends its customers to save energy.

At the Fürth provider Infra, it was emphasized that the increase could vary slightly depending on the tariff.

A three-person household with a consumption of 3000 kWh pays around 140 euros a month for electricity in the new year - before the turn of the year the same amount of electricity cost a good 73 euros a month.

Gas price brakes and electricity price brakes are intended to relieve consumers

Electricity prices in Bavaria are rising: cost explosion in Augsburg too

The electricity prices increase for an average household in Augsburg, which consumes around 2400 kWh annually, to 1424 euros a year, as a spokesman for Stadtwerke Augsburg (SWA) said.

In 2022, with the same consumption, the costs would still be around 885 euros.

If the planned relief and the electricity price brake take effect, these costs could drop to around 932 euros per year for frugal households, it said.

At the moment, however, many details are still speculative.

Electricity price brake

It is intended to relieve households and companies with very high electricity prices.

Households and smaller companies receive 80 percent of their current electricity consumption at a guaranteed gross price of 40 cents per kilowatt hour.

Companies with high power consumption should get 70 percent of their current power consumption at a guaranteed net working price of 13 cents per kilowatt hour.

The electricity price brake is to apply from March 2023.

There should also be a payment of the relief amounts for January and February.

In the wake of the energy crisis, Süc Coburg increased electricity prices – by almost 80 percent.

The citizens are frustrated, the provider explains himself.
