Lol just turn your lights off. Disconnect your appliances, serve your customers rice and water in the dark to stick it to Putin. We must all (except the billionaires and politicians) make sacrifices for the current thing!

Or go for mass riots the likes of which no one has ever seen in decades

Fucked for fucked, decision makers need to feel the pain too, big time, no reason for them to enjoy their privileges and remain in command after that, they are either incompetents, idiots, or outright traitors, they fucked their country

Incompetents and idiots occasionally get something right, those just playing the part don’t. They’re all traitors.

Doesn't seem to show how much power was consumed, unless I'm missing that bit of information..

Stories seem to indicate that's for about 2.5 months (73 days). I'm also seeing it's a 400% increase from last time.

Trying to find kWh rates, but all that comes up is this story. According to Jewgle, peak is 34.34c (Euro) per kWh, with most of the day being 32.2c per kWh. So about 418kWh per day. That seems high, but I guess they're probably all electric for appliances.

For comparison, AEP Ohio charges 5.3c (USD) per kWh fixed.

Geeze. If only the US had remained energy independent, we could be exporting energy to them right now.

Holy Electrons Batman! The shop I used to work for had two Nash Pumps running all the time as well as all kind of other high current shit, and our bill was never anywhere near that.

Fuuuuck you. Time to buy a propane generator. You can buy the generator, have it installed, and buy a years worth of gas for that kind of money.

As a restaurant if they have a fair amount of waste grease/oil they could filter that and dump it straight into a diesel generator.

Lol, I'm sure if they write him a nice respectful letter, he'd be only too glad to help.

OMG they charge VAT for electricity? After all the taxes that have already been paid on generating it? Wow, Europe is so special, no wonder they are doing even better than us at sucking. I bet they need this money because "muh African refugees."

Wound up putting solar on the roof to not be controlled by the monopoly power company.

The panels were installed 3 years ago and the offset cost is now working in our favor. However the power company now charges $30/month to be connected to the grid. The extra advantage comes from the panels blocking out the heat from the sun. Our usage went way down during cooling time in the summer. They can raise the price per KW. But that does not affect us, since we over-produce power.

Yeah I've had a good laugh listening to some of the pro solar people saying you only need so many panels to offset your home usage.

No you goof, if I'm spending the money to install solar I'm covering the whole roof to produce extra to sell back to the power company.

Those grid connection fees are going to become common in areas where people have their own renewables.
