Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my electricity supply after the withdrawal?
Your electricity supply will not be interrupted. After withdrawing from the new contract, you are automatically supplied by the local default provider. Alternatively, you can return to your previous provider or conclude a new contract.
Can I withdraw from the electricity contract after supply has begun?
Yes, withdrawal is possible even after supply has begun, as long as the 14-day period is still running. However, the provider may charge a proportional fee for electricity already supplied (§ 357 Abs. 8 BGB), provided you consented to early performance.
Do I need to give a reason for the withdrawal?
No, the withdrawal right is a statutory right that requires no justification. You can withdraw from the contract within the period without giving any reasons. The statement 'I hereby withdraw from the electricity supply contract concluded on [date]' is sufficient.
