Oh it's going to be taxed higher than that because you also have VAT. And that's not counting network costs. Currently, the electricity itself is only half of the electricity bill. www.jechange.fr/energie/elec...

A pie chart. 51% for the electricity itself, 25% for the network, 14,8% for the VAT, 2.3% for the connection, 7% for the "accise" (the special energy tax)

For the raise? The government is focused on cutting a huge deficit. For the differential? No. To be charitable, they could argue that electricity is "purer" energy, with fewer losses at consumption, and so is more valuable. The tax per € of value (v /MWh) is similar... which is still not brilliant.

I'm not an expert, I'm just ballparking but I'm going to guess no. EU Nat Gas currently selling at ≈40€/MWh. Average spot prices in France in 2024 are ≈48€/MWh. I don't see anywhere on the chain (network cost, VAT, etc.) where electricity has a clear advantage.

Typo, it's not a difference of 22€, 42 minus 16.37 is still 25.63

Would there be demand for a dedicated feed bringing all of these lists in one place? BruSky or something? Presumably something along the lines of: IF (name on one of your lists) OR includes(🟦🌟;💙🌟) OR includes( #EU#Brussels#Bubble) THEN include in Feed
