18 Dec 2025 Werbendes Unternehmen aus dem Energiesektor (anonymisiert)BNetzA: €210,000 fine on energy company over contracts foisted on consumers by phone €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.
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 €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.
Withholding the caller number or disguising one's identity on sales calls risks additional fines on top of the ban on unsolicited calls.
