For many consumers, memories of 2022 are likely to be awakened, when Russia’s war of aggression on Ukraine began and gas prices rose extremely. The wholesale prices for gas, oil and electricity are not yet as high as they were back then. The price increases do not have an immediate impact on many households. But if you drive a lot or have a dynamic electricity tariff, you already pay a lot more. And even those who are not yet affected should use the time now.
