In Austria, the price per kWh has quadrupled since May 2020, which is when I moved in to a new home. Unfortunately this [0] chart from my provider only goes back 12 months, but you can see even during this short time that the price increased from 5.81c per kWh to 12.43c per kWh, which is more than 200%. I checked some of my statements, and in May 2020 the electricity price was 3.13c per kWh, which represents an increase of about 397% compared to today's price.

Still cheap compared to Denmark. I'm not one for optimizing my electric bill, so I've probably got a fairly bad deal by paying between 27 c/kWh and 34 c/kWh. 75% of the electric bill consists of fees to the state anyway, it's quite ridicules.

The upside is that these fluctuations are kind of mitigated and smoothed out.

I remember having fun of two different bills one from transfer and taxes and one for power itself. The monthly fee for just having connection in apartment building in a town was more than what I paid for power it self... Not to even mention the taxes and fee for power transmission...

Yeah well these are the raw prices per kWh, there are also a lot of fees added by the state and the state run suppliers who provide the infrastructure. Pretty sure you can double whatever I have quoted for the actual per kWh prices.
