That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that’s already insanely expensive

    What’s the renewable energy like in a Finland during the winter? Solar, wind, or geothermal common and working?

        In winter yeah but we have long ass days in the summer and even in early spring they work surprisingly well as solar panels are more efficient in cold temperatures.

      Last 12 months Finland had electricity 87% with low carbon sources and 43% with renewables (source: https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/FI )

      During winter it stays pretty similar, because nuclear is 45%, wind 17%, hydro 17%, biomass 8% and solar is only 0.03%.

      Coal is only 8%, but produces 58% of all CO2, which shows how bad it is.
