Pros and cons

Pros

  • Renewable share of 100% on the dynamic tariff, so green supply is not limited to a single plan.
  • Tariff types cover fixed, variable and dynamic, so a household can move between fixed, variable, dynamic and green pricing under the same supplier.
  • Support covers email, chat and phone, so help does not run through an app alone.
  • Gas and electricity sit with the same provider, as electricity and gas shows.
  • Fixed terms of 12 and 24 months give a planned price window without a long lock-in.

Cons

  • Service is limited to Baden Wuerttemberg, so households outside that region have nothing to switch to.
  • Electric vehicle and time of use tariffs are not among its tariff types (fixed, variable and dynamic), while fixed, time of use and ev lists both.
  • Fixed terms stop at 12 and 24 months, so there is no longer price lock in the range.

Who it suits

  • Households in Baden Wuerttemberg who want gas and electricity under a single supplier.
  • Anyone who wants a renewable dynamic tariff at 100% and already has a smart meter.
  • People who would rather reach support on email, chat and phone than manage everything in an app.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Households after an electric vehicle or time of use rate: Endesa lists fixed, time of use and ev, and those are not among fixed, variable and dynamic.
  • People shopping for a prepaid tariff, which appears among fixed, ev and time of use and is not among fixed, variable and dynamic.

Core features

Badenova offers electricity and gas on fixed, variable and dynamic tariffs, so a household can take a fixed price, sit on a variable rate, follow prices hour by hour or pick a green option without moving supplier. Fixed terms run 12 and 24 months, which gives a price to budget around before you decide whether to stay. The dynamic tariff carries the most interest for anyone who tracks their own usage, since its renewable share is 100%. A smart meter is required for it, and that requirement is the practical gate on the whole idea: the smart meter requirement keeps hourly pricing out of reach for homes that do not have one. Check what meter you already have before comparing hourly rates. Across the suppliers listed, median unit rates sit at €0.17 and median standing charges at €14.98, which gives the Badenova figures something to sit against.

The company behind it

Badenova trades as Badenova AG & Co. KG and is headquartered in Germany. It supplies Baden Wuerttemberg, which makes it a regional provider with a narrower footprint rather than a national one. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so phone, email, chat and a help centre are all in reach without going through an app. A regional footprint has a practical side as well as a commercial one: bills, tariff changes and meter questions are handled locally rather than through a national call centre, and the same service channels cover a household that takes electricity and gas from the company.

How Badenova compares

Frequently asked questions

What tariffs does Badenova offer?+

Badenova lists fixed, variable and dynamic tariffs, covering a fixed price, a variable rate, an hourly dynamic price and a green option. Fixed terms run 12 and 24 months, so the length of the commitment differs by plan. If you are weighing the hourly option against a fixed deal, the tariff type matters more than the term length.

Is the Badenova dynamic tariff fully renewable?+

The renewable share on the dynamic tariff is 100%, so the electricity behind it is renewable at the level stated. A green tariff also sits among fixed, variable and dynamic, which means renewable supply is not tied to the hourly plan alone. Check which of the green and dynamic options matches how your meter is used.

Do I need a smart meter for the dynamic tariff?+

Yes, a smart meter is required for the dynamic tariff. That condition applies to the hourly pricing option rather than to every plan in fixed, variable and dynamic. If your home does not have one yet, the fixed, variable and green tariffs stay open to you while a meter is arranged.

Which parts of Germany does Badenova supply?+

Badenova supplies Baden Wuerttemberg and is based in Germany as Badenova AG & Co. KG. Because the footprint is regional rather than national, households outside that area would need to look elsewhere for supply. It is worth checking coverage early, since it decides which of the listed tariffs you can actually take.

How do I reach Badenova customer support?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so the company can be reached by phone, by email, by chat or through the help centre. Help does not run through an app alone. For a household holding both fuels, the same channels cover both contracts.

Can I take gas and electricity from Badenova?+

Yes, Badenova supplies electricity and gas. Holding both under a single provider keeps one point of contact for billing questions and support. The tariff choices given are electricity tariffs, so the gas side sits alongside them rather than replacing them.

How long do Badenova fixed tariffs last?+

Fixed terms run 12 and 24 months. That gives a window with the price held, followed by a point at which you decide whether to move to a variable or dynamic rate. A shorter term means less to lose by changing your mind, and you re-enter at the going rate.

How do Badenova rates compare with other suppliers?+

Across the suppliers listed, median unit rates sit at €0.17 and median standing charges at €14.98. Those figures give a yardstick for any Badenova quote, since the unit rate moves with the plan you pick. Comparing like with like matters more here than the headline number.
