My monthly electricity bill went up by ~29%, so sounds about right. In fact, my electricity provider raised everyone's rate, even those with a contract, but giving an option to leave and find another provider, and shortly thereafter went bankrupt.

Thats not true. Regional providers which source their energy by regional means without any nuclear, gas, and coal can sustain their prices.

I wasn't buying cheap before and stayed regional and now I am still at about 30 Cents/kWh. It the same with lumber last year.
