The highest price hike will come from RheinEnergie at 16.9 percent, industry analyst Verivox told the paper.

Increases mean that a four-person household that uses 20,000 kilowatt hours per year will now pay €1,500, some €217 more than last year.

According to Bild, up to 67 gas providers will increase prices this summer.
