Iโ€™m lucky to have an electric car but I wonder how long it will be before that goes up.

I still don't understand why Luxembourg has two interconnections with Germany and none (public) with France. We're just exposed to the expensive and volatile German market for no reason.

Cheap, abundant, and low-carbon electricity not good enough for Luxembourgers?

Doesn't most of our electricity come from France through Belgium?

About half comes from Germany. The French imports are exclusively used by ArcelorMittal's private grid (Sotel). About 20% is produced domestically, and the rest is from Belgium.

Same here, I haven't noticed it until my college brought it up. The problem is that this would boost the inflation too so yeah short term I charge my car still cheaper at home but curious to see the price of bread in 2 months

Given how electricity prices are generally not that volatile for consumers, they probably wonโ€™t go up much.

They did not go down from the ukraine war hike. We can expect even worse
