> Electricity is incredibly cheap. Beware, this is something that might change at short notice. Starting from October I'm paying 0.28€/kWh, making the daily 7.

  Europe? There really isn't too many reasons why electricity should have "shock pricing" like this. Here (Ontario) electricy prices are fairly flat over long time periods. https://www.oeb.ca/consumer-information-and-protection/electricity-rates/historical-electricity-rates https://www.oeb.ca/consumer-information-and-protection/elect... probably because once the plants are built, the cost to maintain them is fairly fixed? Off peak power is 8.2 kwh Feb 8, 2022 and was 8.7 back on Nov 1, 2016 in order for this to change, it requires government approvals so it wont be "changing at short notice".

    The Russia/Ukraine conflict is causing problems with energy production throughout Europe.

      Yes. My son is a nuclear physicist and found the whole "Germany shuts down its nuclear plants in favour of Russian gas" a strange choice. They made a choice, now they see the results of the decision? Maybe this will be a catalyst to revive nuclear? Perhaps our shitty leaders can stop the "we hate carbon" mantra and start selling our massive natural gas supplies to Europe removing the shortages?
