Manager: It is Dagbladet’s editorial and expresses the newspaper’s vision. Dagbladet’s political editor is responsible for the editorial.
“An extraordinary power company It doesn’t make money from your electricity consumption. This is what Dipper, an electrical company, looks like.
At least “unusual” is the word, because recently the company has taken a new and unusual approach, which makes many minds boil. This is because Tipper’s customers have already received their electricity bills for the month of December. The final amount is sometimes multiplied, and customers are charged for electricity they have not yet used. Instead, Tipper has made a kind of calculation of how much customers think they will spend.
The electricity company is in a very difficult situation, and is ranked 104 out of 110 on Bytt.no, a service and website that compares different electricity companies.
Consumer Council now rules All customers should switch from the disputed company. It’s understandable, because it’s like juggling.
It becomes a ridiculous form of capitalism where customers pay for what they use and take the risk for the company. In effect, Dipper turns its customers into a bank, where they borrow money from people who might lose money if the company goes bankrupt.
It’s not easy to notice unless you read your electricity bill carefully, but there are good reasons to do so.
Power companies are very creative in making money. It joins a series of sly strategies by power companies. It should be controlled and more strictly regulated.

Electric companies like Tipper It does not generate electricity by itself. Instead, they act as a sort of “broker” whom you, as an electricity consumer, entrust with the task of purchasing electricity on your behalf. So they buy electricity from power generators and supply it to you. They are part of the market-based electricity market that we have, which also provides high security of supply and cheap electricity for a long time. But the Dipper case shows that it is very easy to deceive customers with attractive offers and schemes that no one understands, and that it is permissible to use many methods to make money. There is good reason to regulate these “brokers” more tightly than we do today.
This is because it is very difficult for people to understand the terms given by the electricity companies. Here, at least, people have clearly rebelled against a bad business model, and this should be a clear signal that consumers cannot be fooled.
