Day ahead electricity prices for EU

Thanks, will need to find the source again and see if it was indeed 0.1/kWh and not MWh (talking about production costs at a cheaper country with nuclear power plants fully paid for in the past).

EDIT: Just found out production costs from another source:

Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant - 20.31EUR/MWh

Temelin Nuclear Power Plant - 34.52EUR/MWh

10 cents for a megawatt of electricity is an unheard of marginal cost in any situation.

your local costs in the US range from 5-25 cents per kilowatt hour (1/1000 of that), with ideal solar being the cheapest amortized at roughly 3 cents/kwh

I just cross-checked the source and the claim by one of their members of parliament was the price was 0.25CZK/MWh which is ~0.01EUR/MWh in fact.

This suggests that either the MP is incorrect, or they were misquoted, or some sort of accounting shenanigans are going on (infrastructure costs already paid for, etc.)

One of those for sure. My guess is that the MP was trying to score with their voters and bent the numbers.
