Oh, definitely. But that’s also where the “upfront” part could have saved them: If they had contacted you and been direct about “hey, I’m selling utilities now, would you be interested in switching?”, then followed up with “on another note, it’s been a while, wanna grab dinner and catch up a bit?” That would have been a completely different story.
no, that was just the normal cost of power in norrbotten from 2010 to 2020. varying by time of day, of course. 18 öre/kWh was peak price.
now that i’m no longer living up there i’m forced to cough up more than 5 times the price. they raised it from 60 öre/kWh to 250 when inflation was real bad, now we’re down to like 120 öre/kWh. it’s shocking how bad it has become with increased interconnectivity in the european grid.
Edit: I’m an idiot who can’t read. of course you’re right, it’s two cents.

not to mention he’d lived with me. he knew we paid like 0.2¢/kWh. no way he’d get me to switch.
Point two cents per kWh? Holy hell; that’s 75 times less than the US average. Were you feeding a ton of rooftop solar back into the grid or something?

Cries in german energy prices
oh no that was a few years ago. we are very much suffering from your prices now. they’re dragging the whole of europe along.
I can see from the available data energy prices across Europe have indeed become somewhat homogeneously.
I can’t find any sensible source that speaks about germanys role. Care to elaborate?
