For reference, power for a week’s stay is typically between US$50 in summer up to US$80 in winter.

That's cheap. In Canada, my power bill in the summer is $400 CAD per month and over $600 CAD per month in the winter.

Ouch! Just for comparison, the charge here is typically around 50c CAD per KWh. It was much higher last winter thanks to the Ukraine war, but it’s settled back down. What is yours? We have very high insulation standards so heating costs are not too crazy. We also typically don’t have AC, so costs stay lower in summer.
