Is this not also because European countries offered relief on VAT for energy during the peak of the energy crisis?
France has a reduced rate of 5.5% on energy. Germany has just increased VAT from 7% to 19% for energy this year.
Meanwhile the UK has done nothing and 20% of your energy bill has always gone to the taxman.
I think that, if you check your energy bills, you'll find that a VAT rate of 5% applies in the UK.
