Heating costs at record high: Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in front of inflation shock!

Schwerin, Deutschland - gas customers in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have to prepare for drastic price increases. According to an evaluation of Verivox, the heating costs in the northeast could increase by up to 32 percent at the turn of the year. The regions of Vorpommern-Greifswald and the Mecklenburg Lake District are particularly affected. For an average family home that consumes around 20,000 kilowatt hours of gas annually, the additional costs could be up to 824 euros, such as nordkurier.de reported. In Ankershagen and Möllenhagen, the costs for these households increase, for example, from 2,335 euros to 3,359 euros.

Behind the price increases there are also increasing CO₂ levies and a higher gas storage surcharge. The changes ensure that German households have to expect financial burdens in 2024. While the price increase in some regions is moderate 3 percent, the increases are more serious in other areas, such as in Hamburg and Lower Saxony. But there is a way out: consumers are advised to change their provider.
