Same in Ontario, Canada. They heavily subsidized green energy sources and then laid the debt on the publicly owned power utility which passed on the cost to ratepayers, leading to the highest power rates in North America and a utility that is still heavily dependent on legacy nuclear and hydro to provide grid stability.

Boston (also in North America) paid 21.9 cents/kWh in June. As I type this, Ontario residents are paying on-peak 13.2 cents/kWh.
