    Yes, “normal” prices used to be around 40 Euro/MWh, but now the Chinese are buying all the LNG and the Russians are blackmailing us by reducing spot market gas delivery.

    Posted By: ping1400The nuclear countries like FR and BE are the most expensive in Eirope.

    They weren't for 2020 though, France was way cheaper, as it has been for decades. Just picking recent spot prices during a period of market instability isn't exactly indicative. You could call it downright disingenuous....

    Germany also produces a lot more CO2 per capita for it's electricity generation.

    If I'm doing the conversions right, my rate works out to something between Latvia and Croatia same as Bulgaria.

    Edited after I rechecked my rates.

    @BOR

    These are consumer prices, including all the (emissions) taxes, VAT, grid fees (with local taxes), reseller margins, etc.
    Wholesale prices are more like 4 cents/kWh (thats what large consumers also pay).
    Germany has a lot of consumer taxes, but one of the lowest wholesale market prices (= real production costs).

    The more meaningful measure for this comparison would be the Grid Emission Factor.

    BC Hydro in my region posts 0.04 kgCO2eq./kWh. Not bad for filthy carbon-spewing Canada. Does anybody have cleaner electricity?

    We try.
    We produce over 100% of the electricity at home with our own solar panels. Including consumption of two electric cars, electric cooking, and most of the residential heating with heat pumps.

    To compensate for the car batteries I “destroyed” 16 tons of CO2 by taking it out if the ETS market.
    Ou bitcoins are compensated with 100 trees per year (www.treesforall.nl).

    Good for you. But do you enjoy the public benefits of the Dutch economy or do you live alone in the remote bush?

    We enjoy all the public benefits and services of our socialist society, where I also pay a shitload of tax for. Without complaints.

    Of course you do. And you have to include your share of the GHG emissions thereof on a per-capita basis.

    Doing the numbers I find that Canada emits 1.7 times more GHG than the Netherlands per capita. Considering the challenges of distance that we face perhaps we need that much slack.

    I can't find a per-capita number, but in 2019 my electricity was about 61% coal, and 1% natural gas. 29% is renewable, and the rest is from outside markets, so ill defined.

    ETA: the county I live in is pretty agressive about switching to renewables, so I'm pretty confident the proportion that comes from renewables is increasing at some regular pace.

    Same here in Santa Clara County California. The percent renewables increases year on year.

    Well I can't find the number for SVP, they are a bit cagey about it. Hmmm. Here is another number for a California power company.
    0.295 mT/MWh

    As usual with US units, this is a bit obscure. Normally it is given in TCO2eq/GWh (typically hundreds) or kgCO2eq/kWh (typically tenths).

    If it is supposed to be kg/kWh it is approaching ten times the BC Hydro number.

    The energy sourcing ticket of the largest consumers energy company in NL:



    On group level it is 0,1 kg CO2/kWh
    For residential consumers it is 0,0.

    Wind=wind, zon=solar, waterkracht=hydro, biomassa=biomass, aardgas=natural gas, kolen=coal

    But: only 33% of the renewable energy is produced in NL, most is “greenwashing” through european green certificates

    109 gm/kWh is not bad, only 2.5 times the BC value. I think it's about the same as the national value for filthy polluting Canada.
