What's more suprising is Italy 2nd place, which is a great thing. IMHO we need to transition our energy generation even more into solar, but also changing our habits to reflect that (do laundry during the day vs the night, cool down things during the day, etc.)

I think that will happen when the power companies develop and deploy "smart meters", i.e. make pricing transient, and inform users of predicted and live prices.

Why do you do laundry at night ? Is it like in France where you can have different prices during day and during night ? The night price being the lower ?

  Largely because people are at work during the day.

Strangely enough, Italy has one of the highest electricity prices in the EU. 20-30 cents/kWh. Though a lot of it is taxes (besides VAT). https://www.energycouncil.com.au/media/5126/2016-04-27-figure-1-electricity-prices.jpg https://www.energycouncil.com.au/media/5126/2016-04-27-figur...
