NOT true at all. I pay <30 Cent/kwh The real question is: who benefits from this kind of "news"? (some dude from Germany)

That's likely because you have a running contract that's not up for price-adjustments. New contracts are significantly higher than 30cent/kwh.

The same argument could be made for rents in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg. "I've been living here for thirty years in this apartment and the stories about 20€/sqm are just lies".

Why are you lying? I checked large cities, small cities and even the largest companies:

Colgone: https://www.rheinenergie.com/de/privatkunden/strom___erdgas/...

"Due to the current developments in the energy market, we are currently revising our current tariffs and offers. For this reason, our tariff calculator is temporarily unavailable.

Customers of other suppliers who are affected by insolvency / delivery cessation are automatically supplied with us as part of the so-called replacement supply at fixed conditions. "

Hamburg: https://www.hamburgenergie.de/oekostrom/unsere-stromtarife/#...

40 Cents per kwh; price was updated 3 weeks ago, website mentions that update of price is expected after New Year

EON (largest German electricity supplier, all Germany): https://www.eon.de/de/pk/strom/stromanbieter/guenstiger-stro...

Price: 65,66 Cents per kwh

Small city "Meerbusch", next to Düsseldorf: https://stadtwerke-meerbusch.de/strom/strompreise-und-tarife...

"80,22 Cent/kWh"
