๐Ÿ”„ What is the SimplyFair tariff?

With our SimplyFair tariff, you get electricity at a fair price โ€“ with no hidden fees in the unit price. Many providers profit when you use more electricity. We donโ€™t.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Our goal: Help you use less energy โ€“ not earn more when you use more!


โš™๏ธ How does Ostrom calculate your electricity price?

We continuously monitor the electricity market and pass on energy to you at cost โ€“ with no markup.

๐Ÿ“ˆ To smooth out extreme price spikes, we use a monthly average unit price that reflects the current market level.

๐Ÿ›‘ This means:

Thereโ€™s no fixed price guarantee, but full transparency.


๐Ÿ“ฆ How is your tariff structured?

Your monthly deposit payment is made up of two components:

  1. Base fee

    • grid fees from your local grid operator

    • Ostromโ€™s 6 โ‚ฌ fee

  2. Unit price

    • measured in ct/kWh charged for your energy consumption


๐Ÿ“… What happens if prices change?

If thereโ€™s a price adjustment, weโ€™ll notify you four weeks ahead. This ensures that your tariff is valid for at least one full month.

๐Ÿ‘€ You can find more information about past price adjustments in our FAQ.
