Ok, it seems I am mistaken that this subsidy applies to datacenter (apparently there is ongoing discussions to include them for this reason).

That said - I 100% don't believe that hertzner are simply passing on the price for their colo clients. Where did you read that they are not making a profit off electricity resale?

Here is another link discussing industrial energy prices WITHOUT reductions: https://www.smard.de/page/en/topic-article/213922/216044

So less than 17c/kWh in 2024, and likely another 2c when adjusted for current wholesale prices and network fees.
