My prices went down in the last two years by almost half. I could get a time based tariff and sometimes buy electricity at negative prices. Of course I have like 400 different electricity providers I can choose from... Monopolies are... not great.
Ok so 400 different providers lets me know you're not in the USA then.
That's where this article is written about
Yeah, monopolies are no-no in Europe.
