- Price per
- quarter-hour
- Supplier cost per year
- Not public
Fixed supply costs and the purchase fee are not published as amounts; the site refers to a personal quote. Per the product terms, an extra surcharge of up to €0.01 per kWh may apply while a conventional (non-smart) meter is in place.
Open-ended; 30-day notice without termination fee (product terms). A smart meter is required for settlement at dynamic prices.
* Amount as the supplier publishes it; the supplier does not say whether it includes VAT. Supplier cost per year: 12 × fixed fee + markup × 5,130 kWh (average household plus 15,000 km of home charging), incl. VAT, excl. energy tax and grid costs.
Compare all dynamic contractsFor EV drivers
ERE deal: No. No ERE offer found on the brand's own website.
Smart charging: No own smart-charging service; the FAQ explains you can schedule charging yourself or automate it with a smart control box that steers appliances on quarter-hour prices.
Home battery: Per the product terms, installations that actively steer consumption or feed-in (such as a home battery or energy management system) must be reported in advance; a specific contract form may be required (a separate SMART version of the product terms exists). The contract is linked to the Balans System with the Balans battery from Balans Energie; new customers are referred to Balans Energie.
Feed-in: While net metering applies, feed-in and consumption are offset per tariff period (quarter-hour or hour); for a surplus in a period you receive a fee based on that period's market price minus the purchase fee. Energy tax is netted annually. No feed-in amounts published for the dynamic contract.
