    But many European countries were largely saved from energy price hikes thanks to investing in renewables:

      Between solar panels and a home battery my electricity bill is negative during summer months. As in I produce more than I need so I’m selling back to the grid.

      During the winter when I don’t get enough from solar with my battery and dynamic pricing I can buy electricity when prices are low so I don’t pay high prices during peak hours.

      In the Netherlands my electric prices have remained steady but gas went up substantially.

        Electricity prices went up to 2.60 yesterday at 20:00, not very stable, unless you’re on a fixed contract of course, which is literally the most stable.
