RE: Life Goes On
Thank you for your time and your response. I knew I would guess you love animals. This is immediately apparent :-)
Excuse my curiosity, what is the current cost of gas for private consumers in Germany?
Our gas price will rise from 7.25 ct/kWh to 10.52 ct/kWh (3,24 UAH/kWh) from July. That's a big increase. Last year we paid 5.88 ct/kWh. So within half a year, the price has doubled.
Bei uns steigt der Gaspreis ab Juli von 7,25 ct/kWh auf 10,52 ct/kWh. Das ist schon eine ordentliche Steigerung. Im letzten Jahr hatten wir 5,88 ct/kWh bezahlt. Also innerhalb eines halben Jahres hat sich der Preis verdoppelt.
A double increase in the cost of gas can bring the entire industry to its knees. As a result, there will be an increase in prices for all goods, some factories will be forced to stop, and this will lead to an increase in unemployment and an increase in the burden on the state budget.
We experienced something similar. The company I work for wanted to stop chemical plants, but we managed to figure out how to replace natural gas with hydrogen of our own production. After this decision, the production cost decreased and we displaced almost all importers of polymers from the Ukrainian market.
This increase in gas prices has hit the most vulnerable, such as retirees, hardest. This winter they had almost no heating. It is a pity that this is happening.
Nowadays, soo many things are interconnected. Single causes usually have wide-ranging consequences. This was already made very clear to us with Corona.
The fact that your company has found this way out shows once again that it is important to look for alternatives. Usually there is a lack of motivation when everything is running normally. Your example should be a model for German companies.
It sounds a little funny, because we buy 90% of the technologies from German companies.
😂 I can imagine that... but why are German companies not able to replace natural gas with hydrogen...
Therefore I still think it could be a model... 😏
Und damit ist es ja noch halb so teuer wie bei uns.
Na ja, ich bin auch selbst Schuld: Nachdem unser Anbieter (Grüngas) pleite ging, habe ich mich nicht darum gekümmert, einen anderen Anbieter zu suchen, sondern bin einfach beim Ersatzversorger (E.ON) geblieben. Momentan nützt aber jeder Preisvergleich ohnehin nichts. Günstige Tarife gibt es für Neukunden nicht mehr, außerdem ändern die Preise sich fast täglich.
Ja, das macht schon was aus. Der Grundversorgertarif beim selben Anbieter (Stadtwerk) ist noch 2 ct. teurer.
Ich bin gespannt, was so im Herbst/Winter noch so passiert... da ist die Teuerung wohl noch das harmloseste...
ach, ich wollte doch nicht schwarzmalen. Ich habe doch jetzt Urlaub :-))
Ärmel hochkrempeln und Solarthermie aufs Dach... 😉
Fertig! ;-)) Das haben wir tatsächlich schon. Aber leider nur für warmes Wasser. Was jetzt noch fehlt, wäre die Heizungsunterstützung und Photovoltaik...
Photovoltaik ist bei uns das nächste. Vermutlich erstmal ohne Heizungsunterstützung (die ist erst zwei Jahre alt und gerade von Kessel auf Durchlauferhitzer umgestellt...). Wenn's denn überhaupt Material gibt...
Kommt gut in den Harz!
Danke, Sonntag geht's los... ☀️
😊
But this is the status from spring. Just three weeks ago my provider increased to 19 ct/kWh (~5.9 UAH/kWh, rate 6/28/22). And last week our Minister of Economy declared a gas emergency because of the lack of Russian gas. So nobody knows how expensive the gas - especially in winter - will be... 😱
Apparently, many people in the world are angry with Ukraine that it has been defending itself for so long. Because of this, prices are rising.
Unfortunately, I can't compare the price with what we have now. We have only just started to switch to gas metering in kWh. Until now, we kept records in m3. One m3 of gas costs UAH 9, but at the moment the prices are artificially frozen.
Oh, the conversion from kwh to m3 depends on the power of the heating system.
I have found something about it and it looks like that you can say the following about the thumb (quasi an unconfirmed average value): Energy content about 10 kWh/m3.
Oh, there I am upset about quite other than Ukrainians....
First, of course, there is the aggressor. But each country must also look at itself. How can it be that a country makes itself dependent on a single gas supplier?
In our invoice, the conversion is: 1 m3 x 0.9637 (condition number) x 11.217 (calorific value). This means that 1 m3 = 10.8 kWh and 1 kWh = 0.092 m3. Whereby the calorific value varies in the course of the year and I don't know what the condition number.
In unserer Rechnung steht als Umrechnung: 1 m3 x 0.9637 (Zustandszahl) x 11.217 (Brennwert). Damit wäre 1 m3 = 10.8 kWh und 1 kWh = 0.092 m3, also gerundet so wie du schriebst. Wobei der Brennwert im Jahresverlauf variiert. Was die Zustandszahl ist, weiß ich auch nicht.
