Daily variable prices are around €1 per kWh, longer term (usually 3 or 6 months) variable between .7 and .8. Considering the current market expect it to rise more.

Do note: you get quite a lot back in tax returns which are calculated at payment at the end of the month, semester or year depending on the contract type. In most countries these are already deducted in the kWh price so there is a discrepancy there comparing for instance Germany with the Netherlands. Expect around €0.5 to €0.7 depending on the contract in the end.

I'm not going to hold my breath but thanks for the small bit of hope. Right now, Vatenfall is quoting my payment at £400/mo for a new build 89m2 apartment. Considering my 4100/mo salary and rent, it doesn't leave a ton left over to pay for other basic necessities like food, mandatory health insurance, transportation to and from work (20 miles away) and other living expenses.

I leave next Monday, so I'll find out more really soon!
