While I agree with everything else you said, this is only technically true, last I checked. Only small island nations had more expensive electricity.

That's probably right if you take last year's prices (these were insane, that's correct). But right now you can buy electricity again for 2X ct/kwh, which is still on the more expensive side but certainly not the highest price in the world.
- Semaphor 3y agoNah, that’s where I see us on "cost of electricity by country" lists for consumer prices. The first time I looked was a few years ago. FWIW, I currently pay the (government capped) max, 0.4€/kWh
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoGermany is middle of the pack for electricity production cost in the EU. They have more taxes/less subsidies than others though so the consumer price is higher.
- Semaphor 3y agoThe power bill is not related to production cost, though, so taxes and subsidies count for that comparison.
