RE: Life Goes On
😊
The average price for 1 kilowatt hour (kWh) of gas in this country was 13.77 ct/kWh (~4.3 UAH/kWh, rate 6/28/22) in Spring 2022 for a household in a single-family home, according to the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW). This represents an increase of 95% compared to the previous year. The actual costs can vary for each household - depending on the tariff, region and/or provider.

But this is the status from spring. Just three weeks ago my provider increased to 19 ct/kWh (~5.9 UAH/kWh, rate 6/28/22). And last week our Minister of Economy declared a gas emergency because of the lack of Russian gas. So nobody knows how expensive the gas - especially in winter - will be... 😱
Apparently, many people in the world are angry with Ukraine that it has been defending itself for so long. Because of this, prices are rising.
Unfortunately, I can't compare the price with what we have now. We have only just started to switch to gas metering in kWh. Until now, we kept records in m3. One m3 of gas costs UAH 9, but at the moment the prices are artificially frozen.
Oh, the conversion from kwh to m3 depends on the power of the heating system.
I have found something about it and it looks like that you can say the following about the thumb (quasi an unconfirmed average value): Energy content about 10 kWh/m3.
Oh, there I am upset about quite other than Ukrainians....
First, of course, there is the aggressor. But each country must also look at itself. How can it be that a country makes itself dependent on a single gas supplier?
In our invoice, the conversion is: 1 m3 x 0.9637 (condition number) x 11.217 (calorific value). This means that 1 m3 = 10.8 kWh and 1 kWh = 0.092 m3. Whereby the calorific value varies in the course of the year and I don't know what the condition number.
In unserer Rechnung steht als Umrechnung: 1 m3 x 0.9637 (Zustandszahl) x 11.217 (Brennwert). Damit wäre 1 m3 = 10.8 kWh und 1 kWh = 0.092 m3, also gerundet so wie du schriebst. Wobei der Brennwert im Jahresverlauf variiert. Was die Zustandszahl ist, weiß ich auch nicht.
