Your electricity got more expensive because of an artificial NG shortage. Failing to build out solar will leave you buying from neighboring countries that didn't, at prices less than it costs to operate your reactors.

I am not talking about the current situation, I am talking about the times when gas was cheapest ever around 10 years ago. People were building resistive electric heating because it still came out cheaper than using gas.
Currently our state is net-exporter and probably always will be since the states around us are refusing nuclear altogether. And Germany nor Austria has never ever offered electricity cheaper than our own.
