SachsenEnergie lowers electricity prices: Savings of up to 91 euros for households!

Consumers in Saxony can be happy: from January 1, 2026, the energy supplier SachsenEnergie will reduce the electricity price for household customers by up to 4.24 cents per kilowatt hour. Typically, households with four people can save up to 91 euros annually. This price reduction is not some coincidence, but the result of a well-thought-out purchasing strategy and the reduction of network fees in the SachsenNetze network area, as diesachsen.de reports.

But not everything stays the same: the basic price will be increased by up to 1.94 euros per month. For an average household with a consumption of 2,700 kilowatt hours, this results in a new tariff rate of 35.71 cents per kilowatt hour in the basic supply for Dresden and East Saxony. It will be exciting to see whether the new conditions will also appeal to customers without ongoing price fixation.

Gas customers also benefit

There is another plus for gas customers: there is no gas storage levy, which is expected to result in a saving of 0.34 cents per kilowatt hour consumed. These changes will be reflected in the invoice for the first time if a legally binding decision is made by the end of the year. Consumers can therefore look forward to the next bills with excitement.

The price adjustments respond to rising CO2 prices and general price developments in the energy sector. For those who have hoped for cheaper energy alternatives in the past, now could be the right time to find out about the new conditions. Customers will also be informed of the new prices by personal letter in the coming days.

Competitiveness remains intact

It is important to mention that despite the basic price increase, the prices remain competitive compared to other Saxon providers. Households with low annual consumption of less than 500 kilowatt hours also benefit from the reduction. This gives consumers in Saxony significant relief and gives smaller households in particular some well-deserved financial relief.

For further information on network fees and access, those interested can take a look at the SachsenNetze website: [sachsen-netze.de](https://www.sachsen-netze.de/wps/portal/netze/cms/menu_main/netz Access/strom/netzentgelte).

The coming months will therefore be crucial in determining how customers react to the new tariffs and whether SachsenEnergie can continue to gain the trust of its consumers. It remains to be hoped that these measures will not only benefit customers' wallets, but will also contribute to stabilizing the energy market in Saxony in the long term.
