What are some examples of final cost including taxes for customers? I pay 0.1-0.2€ per kWh after massive taxes

                 Electricity price (A)
  +      Distribution network fees (B1)
  +      Transmission network fees (B2)
  +    Excise taxes on electricity (C)
  ────────────────────────────────
                          Subtotal 
  +                        21% VAT (D)
  ────────────────────────────────
         Electricity price on bill
Depending on the circumstances, (A) is inevitably dwarfed by (B), (C) and (D).

It sums up to somewhere between €0.23 and €0.28 per kWh for a cheap energy provider.

From my last bill (Finland):

Electricity: 0.053 €/kWh Transfer fee: 0.043 €/kWh Electricity tax: 0.028 €/kWh VAT: 0.023 €/kWh

So, about 0.146€ per kWh. The transfer fee is to the local utility company, and we can't avoid that, nor the taxes.

We're paying extra for having power generated by solar/wind only, but the cost of the electricity is only about 1/3 of the actual price.
