Don't know about the other points, but 2 is spot on. Germany now has the most expensive electricity in the EU[1].

> Germany leads Europe—and the world among major economies—with residential electricity prices reaching €0.3835 per kWh (approximately $0.41/kWh) in the first half of 2025, according to Eurostat data. This represents a 34% premium above the EU average of €0.2872/kWh.

Since you're citing prices from early 2025: In the second half of 2025, electricity prices for household consumers in the EU (expressed in purchasing power standards (PPS) per 100 kWh) were highest in:

Romania (49.52 PPS per 100 kWh) Czechia (38.65) Poland (37.15)

Lowest in:

Malta (14.09) Hungary (15.10) Finland (18.77)

Residential electricity prices in Poland are 145.01% of the world average electricity price and 98.14% of the average price in Europe.
