The bills for millions of gas and electricity customers will be cheaper thanks to the energy price brake. Since March 1st, government price brakes, worth billions, have been in effect to curb the drastically increased energy costs. The price limits apply to 80 percent of the consumption of the previous year. For each kilowatt hour in excess of 80 percent, customers have to pay the fixed energy price of the respective tariff. This should give an incentive to save energy. The price brakes are in force until the end of 2023. They can be extended until the end of April 2024.
