Von der Leyen reported that despite Russia’s blackmail, Europe is prepared for winter and has gas reserves.
Wtf?
EU: We need to cut off Russia from the world! Stop buying from Russia, stop importing from Russia! Ban all Russians and everything Russian from the world!!! AAAAAAA!
Russia: OK, then we’ll stop sending you gas.
EU: Stop weaponising energy and blackmailing us you monsters!
How much would you pay per month for electricity pre-nord stream sabotage?
Edit: What I mean to ask is: how much electricity would you use and how much on average per month would you pay before the sabotage?
I switched electricity providers in May 2024 to get a better price. Before that I had a contract signed in late 2019 for which I paid about €53 per month for 171kWh (two person household). Since May our consumption has gone up a bit (three person household, and no significant time away) to 186kWh per month which costs about €76 per month. Heating the apartment and hot water are paid separately so this doesn’t include the ~20% increase in heating costs.
Tldr: my electricity consumption went up by 9% and my bill went up by 43%, and that’s taking advantage of switching electricity providers to get one of the best prices available to consumers.
