Let's do the math then.

Let's assume the Hetzner EX101 consumes 200 W (equals 0.2 kW) on average.
Let's assume a private household electricity price of 0.40 EUR/kWh (Germany).
The monthly electricity cost will be;
0.40 EUR/kWh x 0.2 kW x 24 h/day x 30 day/month = 57.60 EUR/month for electricity.
The Hetzner EX101 costs 84 EUR/month.
So even with self-energy production and cheap electricity buy prices, power / electricity is very significant.
