Why does my installment amount change with a fixed contract?
What does a fixed contract mean?
With a fixed energy contract, you pay a fixed price for electricity and gas even when the energy prices are going up or down. You pay a monthly installment amount for this that depends on your standard annual consumption. If you consume more or less energy, we'll settle this on your annual statement. In addition to the fixed costs for electricity and gas, other costs are also included in the rate. Think of energy taxes and network operator costs. These costs change every year.
Why does my installment amount change?
With a fixed energy contract, your rates stay the same. Still, your monthly installment amount can change. When you consume more or less energy, for example. This increases or decreases the amount. Taxes and network operator costs also increase every once in a while, which influences the height of your installment amount.
You can easily adjust your installment amount yourself. For example, it's smart to adjust to amount if you expect to consume more. That way, you prevent surprises at the end of the year.
