Norging stands out in the stats.
Is this because people who use electric heating have old direct electric radiators? Don’t most homes in Spain or Italy these days have AC? Those are heat pumps so should be able to provide (some) heat in winter with reasonable efficiency.

The rationale, they say, is that the spanish grid is "solid" and we rarely have problems, which is true but I don't know to what extent this explains the prices, or if cheaper countries do really have much more problems than us, which I highly doubt.

Electricity price on bill
It sums up to somewhere between €0.23 and €0.28 per kWh for a cheap energy provider.
Electricity: 0.053 €/kWh Transfer fee: 0.043 €/kWh Electricity tax: 0.028 €/kWh VAT: 0.023 €/kWh
So, about 0.146€ per kWh. The transfer fee is to the local utility company, and we can't avoid that, nor the taxes.
We're paying extra for having power generated by solar/wind only, but the cost of the electricity is only about 1/3 of the actual price.
