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

Because at its cheapest it can be even free. For a long time last summer it was only like cents, sometimes even cheaper and at best negative. And the fixed contracts have been expensive for a while now in finland. I'm paying 8cents/kwh with the conract I got last fall. I got it because I was skeptical about prices at winter and I'm so glad I took that contract

And at one point, due to an error, it was tens of cents negative. You were literally getting paid to use electricity. Though, we're paying it back now.

Some people were even running electric heaters outside. Stupid but hilarious.

Making a note to blame Finland when global warming turns Earth into a fireball.
