I don't really understand the graph. Is this supposed to show the cost per kwh of each type of generation? If so, why is the electricity sales price included and why is it so different? 😅

@BregisMoon Is explained in more detail in the linked documents. :) Simplified, in blue is the value that a company receives per kilowatt hour on the stock exchange or through the EEG levy. Depending on the type of energy, however, the company receives much more paid by the state and thus earns not only on electricity sales, but also on subsidies.

For example, the upper part of the nuclear energy column is any part that the state and society does not pay directly to the energy producers, but pays for external costs (final storage, renaturation, etc.) and thus relieves the producers, since they do not have to pay for this.
