As an expat currently in the UK - my electric tariff is about to go from .18p per kWh to .36p. Gas is doubling as well. Most homes here have awful insulation, so I’ll be looking at 230gbp a month for my little two bedroom apartment. It’s crazy out here.
Yikes - we were rocking $23 in electricity for a 5-room flat here in Canada a few years ago.
Crazy, probably 3x what would be reasonable per kWh in Australia.
Not the commenter you were referring to, but for context, i'm in the UK and have seen water increase by 25%, gas and electric increase by 32%.
Likely UK or Europe. We've been hit by the Ukraine situation harder than elsewhere, because Putin started hoarding gas last year to prepare for the Ukraine campaign.
I didn't see much of a trouble in France - yet. It's probably UK because of, you know, that little smart Brexit thing.
You have cheap nuclear. Countries without that, like Italy, are seeing similarly high inflation rates on basic utilities.
We are definitely less protected towards this sort of event because of Brexit, but this is bigger than that.
