Growing competition has had a pronounced effect on electricity prices and has contributed to a switch from oil to hydro electricity for heating.

Indeed, electricity prices in Germany are not systematically higher than in Greece, which nowadays is an electricity importer. As a result, Greek solar electricity would, above all else, merely replace more expensive conventional generation in Greece.

Because of rising energy prices from green subsidies, 800,000 German households can no longer pay their electricity bills.

As of 2007, Finland has roughly the lowest industrial electricity prices in the EU 15 (equal to France).

In electricity grids, DR is similar to dynamic demand mechanisms to manage customer consumption of electricity in response to supply conditions, for example, having electricity customers reduce their consumption at critical times or in response to market prices.

In India, the installation of price tickers in remote local markets has resulted in shrinking spreads between the spot prices of commodities in these local markets and commodity exchange prices.

As soon as solar electricity becomes competitive in Greece, other countries with similar levels of irradiation (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Bulgaria, etc.) will enter the market. This will quickly drive electricity prices towards production cost, as solar generating capacity in Europe approaches electricity demand.

This approach allows higher consumer electricity prices to be phased in gradually, yet establishes strong, immediate incentives for adopting solar power.

But has Schäuble really found a magic bullet to hold down German electricity prices while restoring economic growth to Greece? Yes and no.

Governments lack both the means and motivation, owing to their inability to recoup costs from poor villagers, often because subsidized electricity prices depress revenues.
