Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (-13F) outside. (i.imgur.com)

That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that's already insanely expensive

That's fairly typical. WTF would you do in an outage?

Back up generators if the expected outage is to last more than one day - and sometimes it can.

I hear this a lot since we converted to heat pumps. People don't realize basically every heat source these days other than wood needs electricity. We kept our oil system as a backup for very cold days but it also doesn't work with no power.
