Description topics

Natural gas
Variable delivery rate contract prices
Average consumer prices per cubic meter of variable costs for the delivery of natural gas. Both existing contracts and new contracts are part of this average price. Government measures such as the price cap do not influence the average price. The actual amount per household may vary depending on the type of contract, the duration of the contract and the energy supplier of choice.
Variable delivery rate with price cap
Average consumer price as calculated in “variable delivery rate contract prices” while taking into account the price cap enacted in 2023. The tariff was therefore a combination of the contract prices and the maximum price of the price cap, should the contract price exceed the price cap.
Electricity
Variable delivery rate contract prices
Average consumer prices per kilowatt hours of variable costs for the delivery of electricity. Both existing contracts and new contracts are part of this average price. Government measures such as the price cap do not influence the average price. The actual amount per household may vary depending on the type of contract, the duration of the contract and the energy supplier of choice.
Variable delivery rate with price cap
Average consumer price as calculated in “variable delivery rate contract prices” while taking into account the price cap enacted in 2023. The tariff was therefore a combination of the contract prices and the maximum price of the price cap, should the contract price exceed the price cap.
