They now buy from the Nuclear Power plants a few km nearby the German Borders. The Prices are that high because of Taxes. They also probably get cheaper Industry Prices for electricity, but aren't allowed to resell that cheap energy to their customers.

And they sell to the country with the nuclear power when it gets too hot in the summer and the country with the nuclear power can't safely run it without killing their wildlife.
