i find it incredibley unlikely. i know the euro is more than our dollar and that is an absolutely insane number. my electricity went up $15-$20 us dollars a month for me using about 1200 watts on 24/0. i cannot imagine electricity is that much more expensive where you live.

From your bill: 30 Euros divided by 209 kw = .14 euros per kw, or kWh.

The wattage of the device is 600w.

The hours a day are 18.
