You usually don't need an electricity contract

Find out whether your warm water is heated by
- your own electricity,
- or instead by gas or even delivered from your landlord (central heating)
Estimate your consumption. Typical:
- 1-person household: 1600 kWh (no water heating) / 2100 kWh (with water heating)
- 2-person household: 2300 kWh (no water heating) / 3400 kWh (with water heating)
- 3-person household: 3100 kWh (no water heating) / 4400 kWh (with water heating)
- 4-person household: 4000 kWh (no water heating) / 5500 kWh (with water heating)
- 5-person household: 4500 kWh (no water heating) / 6700 kWh (with water heating)
Compare providers or pick a provider from the list below

Based on your consumption estimation, they calculate a monthly prepayment rate for you. Pay that rate now every month.
After a year (usually), they measure your actual consumption.
- If you used less than your estimation, you will get money back and your monthly prepayment rate will be lowered.
- If you used more than your estimation, you will need to pay the difference and your monthly prepayment rate will be raised.
