The head of the energy company RWE, Markus Krebber, expects prices for electricity and gas to fall.
Wholesale electricity prices are stable, Krebber told the “Rheinische Post”. “Since the state is subsidizing network fees, the bottom line is that it will be cheaper for many electricity customers in 2026.” He then expects stable prices in the medium term because generation will become cheaper while network fees rise.
According to calculations by the comparison portal Verivox, the lower electricity network fees this year will result in a gross relief of 77 euros for a household with an electricity consumption of 4,000 kilowatt hours per year.
RWE generates its electricity in gas power plants, among other things. For several years now, the company has only been supplying large customers and not private households. Krebber assumes that RWE will benefit from falling gas prices over the next two years. He cited the growing supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as the reason.
Like the federal government and the Federal Network Agency, the RWE boss believes the gas supply this winter is secure. “In a normally cold winter, Germany has no problem with gas, the delivery routes are stable. But the energy system is on edge, that’s risky,” said Krebber. “If you want to make it through every winter, even if it gets very cold or there are supply disruptions, it is important to expand the LNG terminals.”
