So why is electricity cheap in France and expensive in Denmark? Denmark has the most expensive electricity in Europe and they are mostly wind and they often have to import from Sweden and Norway (which is also why electricity is expensive in southern Sweden). If we look at countries nuclear does not seem very expensive. Not the cheapest (that is probably Russian gas followed by hydro) but certainly less expensive than wind power.

- Symbiote 4y agoThe day-ahead price for Denmark seems to be very close to the price in Germany. Much of the high price is taxes. (I don't know how much of the tax went to subsidising earlier wind power construction.) https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/en/Market-data1/Dayahead/Area-Prices/DK/Hourly/?view=table https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/en/Market-data1/Dayahead/Area-... https://countryeconomy.com/energy-and-environment/electricity-price-household https://countryeconomy.com/energy-and-environment/electricit...
