Of course, for consumers the difference is less, because energy was always highly taxed and there's now even a temporary tax reduction. But still, the everage new energy contract now costs €4000 per year more than a year ago. And this data is already old, because gas prices went up further.

I hope you don't forget that this situation is temporary. It' s currently the governments that compensate the difference by indemnifying the energy companies (as you surely know).
It is obvious that these compensations will end sooner or later (in December in my country but it should be the same in the rest of Europe). What will happen then? Full price and right on time when the winter will begin. Jackpot! Don't be surprised if the price increases X3

just a price example from here https://imgur.com/a/qAHD15Q
about 0.37€ per Kwh. Great deal, heating will become for the rich Lips sealed

And to the user who mentioned the need to switch to hydrogen:
yes, it was the plan in Europe...with hydrogen coming from...Russia  Grin
