How can I sign up?

All you need is your address, your kWh consumption, and your meter number (Zählernummer).

Whether you're brand new to Germany or you switch providers every year, signing up to Ostrom is easy!

You just need these three pieces of information:

  1. Address
    Enter your address and house number on our signup form (we have added a Google autocomplete function to make it easier for you).

  2. kWh Consumption
    The standard rule of thumb is 1,400 kWh for 1 person, 2,300 kWh for 2 people and so on (we also added these to the form).

  3. Meter Number (Zählernummer)
    You'll find your meter number at the top of your old electricity invoice. If you don't have any invoices, you can also find the meter number on your physical electricity meter. The meter is usually in your home by the front door, in the hallway, or in the basement. If you live in an apartment and can't find it, it's best to ask your landlord or your building manager (Hausverwaltung) for details.

You can easily sign up through our website tariff calculator (check link above) or through our Ostrom app, you’ll find it here (iOS) or here (Android).
