most likely. For reference, electric energy in some places in europe has reached >1$/kwh and even in a bit more tame environments it's>50c/kwh now at home.

Gas prices in turn have mostly stabilized on a level about 30-50% above last years numbers, whereas for electric the increase often was >100%, sometimes 200%...

...you might have noticed there is a war going on. That's throwing the whole energy sourcing (be it gas, electric, petrol or Diesel) out of whack.

Before the crisis, ~25c - 30c / kWh was normal in Germany - right now you're lucky if you get a contract for 60c, and some as I said have been asked to pay up to 1€... (I pay ~55c right now for reference).

Our prices for gas (petrol / fuel for cars) went as high as $9/gallon at times.. we're now back to a more sane $7/gallon.
