A sneaky tax that keeps rising. In the UK it pays for failed energy companies, people defaulting on their energy bills, energy bill subsidies... and supposedly for grid upgrades lol

It's risen far above inflation (responding to a sibling comment)

This is even worse for gas. Most months I pay more in sales tax on the fees than I do for the gas.
