Not accurate at all. UK consumers are paying approximately 34p/kWh - 43c/kWh. Nearly twice what it says here.

Not accurate for Sweden either. Pricing in Stockholm region last weeks was 1/2 to 1/3 of what's in the list.
Because these are not consumer prices, they're datacenter prices.
Business energy prices are even higher in the UK, because the government applies a price cap to retail prices but not commercial ones. Before some of the subsidies kicked in I heard of £1/kWh being common for commercial renewals, often requiring 5 figure deposits for many industries as the suppliers were worried about businesses going under and not paying their bills.
