18 Dec 2025 Werbendes Unternehmen aus dem Energiesektor (anonymisiert)BNetzA: €210,000 fine on energy company over contracts foisted on consumers by phone GermanyMarketing and consent €210,000

The Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency) fined an energy company 210,000 EUR for unlawful telephone advertising. Callers often posed as the consumer's energy supplier, and in many cases contracts were foisted on the people called; the company has appealed.

What organisations can take from it

Anyone marketing by phone needs verifiable prior consent and must not pose as the existing supplier of the people called.

13 Nov 2025 Werbendes Unternehmen aus dem Energiesektor (anonymisiert)BNetzA: €130,000 fine on energy company over sales calls with withheld numbers GermanyMarketing and consent €130,000

The Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency) imposed fines totalling 130,000 EUR on an energy company for its sales calls: 105,000 EUR for unlawful telephone advertising to consumers and 25,000 EUR for withholding caller numbers on sales calls. Callers frequently concealed their identity, so that people called were often signed up to contracts they had not wanted; the company has appealed.

What organisations can take from it

Withholding the caller number or disguising one's identity on sales calls risks additional fines on top of the ban on unsolicited calls.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
