Braunschweig is happy: Pay less for electricity and gas from 2026!
The residents of Braunschweig can be happy: At the beginning of 2026, the local utility company BS Energy is lowering the prices for electricity and gas. These price adjustments are a welcome response to the stabilized situation on the wholesale markets, which has improved significantly over the last year and a half. News38 reports that the reductions in both electricity and gas prices will bring noticeable relief for households.
For electricity customers, the price of work in the basic supply falls by 5.41 cents per kilowatt hour, which means an annual gross saving of around 105 euros for an average household with a consumption of 2,500 kWh. However, the annual basic price increases by 32 euros, which should be taken into account when saving. No matter how you spin it, the reduction in electricity prices is good news for consumers in the city.
Gas prices also on the decline
But there is not only good news about electricity: gas prices are also being reduced. The labor price decreases by 0.80 cents per kilowatt hour, but instead of increasing, the basic price increases by 20 euros annually. A household with an annual consumption of 15,000 kWh can expect to save around 100 euros. This shows once again that customer-friendly price adjustments are also possible when it comes to energy costs. T-Online highlights that these changes are due to significantly reduced procurement costs and lower network fee costs.
Speaking of network fees: These are reduced by an impressive 38 percent in Braunschweig - a value that represents one of the highest declines in the country. In addition, the federal government's planned additional subsidies for transmission network costs for 2026 will play an important role in pricing. A new federal law, which is scheduled to be passed in the Bundestag in December 2025, will introduce these grants. A current statistic shows that energy prices have remained stable overall, which underlines the positive economic development.
The final network fees will be published on January 1, 2026, and the electricity and gas supply in Braunschweig will begin with a new, attractive price model. For many households, this represents an invaluable relief at a time when money doesn't grow on trees. With this in mind: Enjoy the fresh prizes that await you in the coming year! You should be good at keeping an eye on your energy costs.
