That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that’s already insanely expensive

    Very common in countries that use the metric system (ie literally everywhere except the USA). It’s measured either in kWh or in m^3

      Cubic meters (or another similar measure of volume) is what I’d expect. It’s the conversion to an unrelated and theoretical (since it’s not actually being converted to electricity) unit that confuses me. I presume it’s to make it easier to compare electric vs gas heat, but the variable efficiency of burning gas and the existence of heat pumps ruin that.
