Re: Numbers???

It is all done with a very long average on all the figures. On some days in the last month Germany has been getting 40+% of its electricity from coal. This is not a 'minor ripple'. Even the UK warmed up a couple of old coal plants but didn't need them in the end as the French saved us.

As others have said, the pricing model is fundamentally broken from an end user point of view.
