Here in Norway, especially 10-20 years ago but still not uncommon today, you will find flats for rent with electricity included in the monthly price. Student housing especially.

We own an old 170 sq.m. semi-detached house, and the electricity bill for June was 20 euros. That's with all heating & hot water coming from electricity (heat pumps) and owning an EV that we charge at home.

That's the same for the UK but ultimately the cost is absorbed by someone, just not the tenant.
