And also killed all their industry and has the highest power cost in Europe. Mistakes were made…

I’m trying to find sites to compare energy costs for the average home across the world but coming up short.

I pay £230/month in Scotland (it’s colder up here so we will pay more to heat homes than people in e.g England).

That includes all electricity (including 8k miles/year EV charging) and all (gas) heating. Is that expensive compared to Europe?

You need to use a common measurement so price per kilowatt. Actual heating costs are highly variable on climate, volume insulation and methods of heating
