Why would a salesperson rubber stamp product decisions? Even if yes, there are other roles that approved the changes.

This is very standard stuff in Finland for decades. And before heat pumps became popular large tanks were common and those were heated during the night.

The problem still exists up north where solar produces about zero energy for months. Of course, wind power is option there.

That depends on the consumer (and market I guess). In many countries in Europe that is an option. (Although there should be some extra fees on top).

The explanation is lack of interconnect, not losses in transmission. If you have enough capacity to transfer electricity the prices will be equal in two neighboring electricity markets.

Finland is probably like 15000 kWh/year/house (for a new house more like 10000 kWh/year). All the heating of the house & water is done by electricity, though.

Yes, 4€/kWh, which is dynamically adjusted (if that spot price is reached).
