According to eurostat [1], Germany has one of the most expensive electricity (if not the most expensive due to a negative tax in Ireland) in Europe at ~0.35 to 0.40 EUR per kWh.

And an additional (!) 6-7.5 cent per KWh is payed by the "Klima und Transformationsfonds" to the producers of renewable energy.
it's for households. Energy prices for industry is much lower and in 2024 actually cheaper than 2017 (2024: 16,99, 2017: 17,09) Source: https://www.bdew.de/service/daten-und-grafiken/bdew-strompre...
Production cost share for industry:

2017: 08,02 Cent 2024: 15,50 Cent

Total cost is only less, because there are fewer levies and taxes.
