Reply to comment by Goodliving85 in Globally, the total cost of energy for households has likely increased between 62.6% and 112.9% since Russia invaded Ukraine, say international researchers. An additional 78–141 million people worldwide could be pushed into extreme poverty as a result of these increases. by MistWeaver80

our electric bill is never over 72-75$ USD a month here in Pennsylvania USA... used to be 55-60$ but they did tell us an increase was coming. Still reasonable. (for now.. )

For the month of December, yes. It highly affects those who heat up their houses with radiators using only electricity. The price in December per kWh was about $0,4. As of February its below $0,1 per kWh. I lowered the temperature at home which is 200m2 to 17 degrees and was able to keep my bill at $500. We are getting refunds by government subsidies now however to cover for the higher costs.
