Energie: Netzentgelte für Strom und Gas steigen 2027
Netzentgelte sind ein Bestandteil des Strom- und Gaspreises. Private Haushalte müssen mit einem Anstieg rechnen. Was im kommenden Jahr zu erwarten ist.
Starting 2027, electricity and gas network fees are set to increase slightly, according to calculations by the comparison portal Verivox based on data from distribution network operators. However, these changes will vary greatly across different regions. Network fees account for about one quarter of the total cost of electricity.
They have been on the rise over recent years to finance the expensive expansion of electricity grids. For gas, network fees represent about one fifth of the price for household customers, according to the German Association of Energy and Water Industries. Verivox anticipates overall price increases for gas due to rising wholesale prices resulting from the Iran war.
For electricity, the outcome will depend on how suppliers can offset higher procurement costs. Verivox projects a regionally differentiated development, with the potential for significant price hikes in some areas and regions. Starting from next year, electricity network fees are expected to rise nationwide on average by 1.9 percent.
For a three-person household with an annual electricity consumption of 4,000 kilowatt-hours, this means an additional cost of around 8 euros gross.
