A German utility provider has introduced a 'gaming electricity' plan aimed at households with high power consumption, such as those running multiple high-end gaming PCs. The tariff requires a minimum of 2,500 kWh per year to offset its higher base price, and the provider claims the electricity comes from renewable sources. It is an unusual example of marketing energy plans toward PC gaming households.
