Those who expected that the excesses on the part of electricity and gas suppliers were already over would be wrong. There is still a considerable number of those who continue to surprise their customers and send them completely meaningless breakdowns of new anticipations, etc.
People are desperate
The inStory server has drawn attention to another post-trust provider. In the article, its author claims that until now he was paying 65,000 kronor a year for gas in the family home, and that was for heating three rooms and the kitchen. In June, Lama Energy assessed his advances to the tune of four thousand crowns per month. But already in September a letter arrived saying that the monthly deposit was rising to 30,500 crowns. The electricity deposit thus quadrupled to 8,500 crowns.
A look at the price list literally amazed the man. If he had the same consumption as last year, his annual payment would be about half a million crowns. Compared to other suppliers, it is much more.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t an isolated case, but Lama Energy ended up with many other customers in a similar fashion. Apparently with everyone, because even those who had the prices set until 2024 complain, for example, but they have received a notification that the fixing is canceled and the advances increase many times.
People suddenly have to pay twenty thousand crowns for gas in a small apartment and eight thousand for electricity. Monthly. This is much more than just rent and is completely unfundable.
Is it an abuse of the situation?
At the same time, Lama Energy’s customers are expected to pay these amounts already this year, i.e. before the so-called price cap comes into effect, which is expected to take effect early next year.
At the same time, it is quite paradoxical that this move by Lama Energy is likely due to the established energy cap, which guarantees people that they will not pay more than they set. This also applies to the examples in this article. However, this does not mean that these deposits will not have to be repaid. Only the state will have to pay them for this provider’s customers.
Energy expert Jan Palaščák drew attention to the possible supplier calculation on Twitter. According to him, the energy limit is poorly conceived and can cause just such excesses. Suppliers can take advantage of it and basically take money from the state.
