Not just “a leader.” We’re number one!

We’re number one in having the highest EU electricity prices! And in tanking economies, too. Do you think they could be related?

Germany is a leader in renewables, so why does it have one of the highest EU electricity prices?

Germany generated more electricity from solar and wind in 2025 than any other EU country – but its prices remain tied to volatile fossil fuels.

German households pay around a third more for electricity than the EU average, despite the country’s impressive efforts to ditch fossil fuels.
