Interesting that the colo electricity cost goes up that much, that’s a lot more expensive than what I will pay as a normal consumer, I’d have thought they’d get better discounts.
Plus some overhead costs (but with Hetzner, I'd assume they're minimal - they have razor thin margins).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Amazon invests a lot in its own wind and solar parks. Because of that, energy prices on the open market shouldn't affect them too much. Read more about that at https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/environment/renewable...
Interesting, but looking at their map they will go live in Germany in 2025. Which is way too late to ride this out.
Germany € 0.29/kWh € 0.45/kWh Finland € 0.12/kWh € 0.22/kWh Damn, why is electricity in Germany over twice as expensive as in Finland? I doubt Germans have twice the purchasing power as Finns.
Gas and oil use for electricity is very low.

Germany shut down all their nuclear plants about 10 years ago, opting to rely on natural gas from Russia. Finland invested in nuclear and is bringing their latest plant online this fall. It doesn't take a genius to see which one would be hit harder by sanctions on Russian gas.
How exactly has a not yet operating reactor that is vastly over budget and time any influence on the current price though?
