Consumer prices for electricity are much higher. In 2022, the Scholz government introduced a limit of 40 cent (around 4.6 NOK) per kWh, which applies to 80% of your electricity consumption from the previous year. Meanwhile, prices are down a bit, in the 30 cent range.
If you ever visit Mora in Dalarna, Sweden, make sure to stop by the old quay at Mora Strand (hard to miss, it's down by the water and the town is small).
I mention this because at the quay there's a standing log upon which several metal plaques are mounted, each denoting the water level a certain year, the oldest dating back to the 1600s, and the most modern one being from the 1950s.
Reason being, at the end of the fifties, all lakes and streams in Sweden were regulated, an undetaking that took centuries to complete and was set in motion to stop the annual floods of melt-water, excess rains and so on.
Typically, before a flood-year, you'd get heavy rains during the late summer and autumn, so much that when the cold hit the ground was still soaked and the aquifers full up. Then, pour a heavy snow on top of that with a lingering spring, heat and melt happening all at once in early May. Cue flooding.
Sometimes, the surface of lake Siljan was more than three meters higher than today. That's the reason all the original pre-1950s parts of Mora and surrounding villages were built on high ground. I know the area well, as I have family there. Three meters higher than today would flood the entire modern town with a wide margin.
If floods, rains et al are due to human action, then what is the cause of a regular pattern of the combination of rains and snow and late rapid-onset snowmelt described above? It happens with about 15-20 years interval, always has as far as I know.
Did Lars and Engelbrekt drives SUVs to catch up with Gustav Vasa when the latter headed to Norway?
"On 29 September, the price of electricity in Germany was around NOK 1.26 per kWh."
No, it is more like 3.5 NOK, or around 0.3 EUR per kWh.
So, you're saying it's even worse in Germany than it is portrayed in that piece? Oh, my…
I assume that the authors mistakenly looked up the price of electricity at one of the exchanges, like this:
