“Lowest price for natural gas since 2010”

Check24 / Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Natural gas is at its lowest price since 2010 at an average of 1,236 euros per 20,000 kilowatt hours (kWh), comparison portal CHECK24 reports. This was because of competition and the offers of alternative suppliers to the traditional utilities, writes Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in a separate article. The average price per 20,000 kWh natural gas in the basic utility contract (1,463 euros) was 63 percent more expensive than the one demanded by alternative suppliers (895 euros).
