I ran your figures through a local price comparison engine. [0] Cheapest rate for you here would be ~12800€, or ~$13400/year. For reference, that's slightly less than half the median net income here. [1]
I also made a quick price comparison between the US and here:
- electricity? US: 0.14€/kWh [2]; here: ~0.30€/kWh [0]
- diesel? US: 1.40€/l [3]; here: 2.19€/l [4]
- gasoline? US: 1.26€/l [5]; here: 2.39€/l [4]
- natural gas? US: 0.44€/m³ [6]; here: 1.16€/m³ [7]
My conclusion is the US provide a reference framework of cheap abundant energy. The environmentally conscious have to deal with a framework that stimulates unbridled energy consumption, with hardly any real incentives for conserving energy.

- markvdb 4y agoUpdate. Local price comparison site was just updated this morning. Price here would be between 14569€ (.40€/kWh) and 17308€ (.47€/kWh) depending on the supplier chose. This includes all taxes and surcharges.
- tralarpa 4y agoBut you live in an expensive European country. Shouldn't you compare your prices to expensive US states? Or European averages to US averages?
