I'm moving into a new place and want to take my contract with me - how can I do that?

Written by Philip Janz

We’re so happy you’re taking Ostrom with you! 💚
You can easily take your contract with you directly in the app. Please note that grid operators charge different network fees, which means your price may change slightly ⚡️.


🔄 Move your contract in the app

Here’s how it works:

  1. Open the Ostrom app

  2. Go to More → Contract → Moving With Ostrom

  3. Follow the steps in the flow

📋 Please have the following information ready:

  • New address 🏠

  • Move-in date 📅

  • New meter number 🔢

  • Estimated annual electricity consumption ⚙️

👉 If you’re not sure about your new consumption, just use the value from your old contract — you can always adjust your monthly payment later.

Once your new contract has been successfully registered (this may take a few days ⏳), it will appear in the app. You can switch between your contracts at any time by tapping the address at the top of the screen.

💡 Tip: You can have both contracts active at the same time — for example, if you move into your new home on October 1st but don’t move out of the old one until November 1st.


⚠️ Exception: Dynamic tariff

If you are currently on a dynamic tariff, the move cannot be done via this flow.

In this case:

  1. Cancel your current contract

    → More → Contract → Cancel Contract (reason: moving out)

  2. Create a new contract

    → More → Contract → Add Another Contract → “Move-in”


⚠️ Important: Deadlines to keep in mind

As of June 6, 2025, move-ins and cancellations can only be scheduled up to 2 days in advance.
It’s no longer possible to register a move retroactively.

➡️ Plan your move early to make sure everything goes smoothly.
