Obviously depends on the numerical amount of the price cap and not the percentage rise.
Do you have the two figures to hand or are you just trying to give Johnson or Merkel a helping hand?

Average salary in Germany is higher than the U.K., and the overall cost of living is lower - which is better?

Do you have the figures or are you just making things up? At least I do the research.
The 12% was on TV news.

Price comparison website Verivox told Tagesspiegel that dozens of suppliers in Germany would be raising household gas prices in autumn, on average more than 13 percent, which corresponds to additional costs of 191 euros for the average household. Verivox said that not only higher market prices would fuel the “gas price wave” but also the next stage in national carbon pricing, which is due to go up from 25 to 30 euros per tonne of CO2 in 2022. Suppliers would often directly pass on this cost increase to customers.

I did post the details of price comparisons between countries, but that post seems to have disappeared(probably due to tidying up of threads).
You can't compare raw gas prices, you have to include all the other costs that the consumer faces(green taxes).

But nothing to do with what is being claimed. Firstly Germany currently DOESN'T have large stores of gas.

Gas storage operator association Ines said that while storage levels are currently unusually low for this time of the year after a cold start to 2021, filling levels could attain 90 percent again before the end of the year from a technical point of view.

Because context is all - if you have a higher salary & lower overall cost of living, one data point increasing is more affordable.

The claim was about increases and that Germany's was lower because they have a large amount stored. The claim was false on both counts.
According to this, the UKs raw gas price is only 2% more than Germany's.
UK 70,46 Euros per MW/h, Germany 69.1 Euros per MW/h.

Irrelevant.
The similarity lies in the requirement that national infrastructure and services upon which people rely should continue to function. Whether the commodity they are storing is already owned or not is neither here nor there. If supply cannot meet demand then a serious risk to the public wellbeing arises.

December 2020 Electricity prices
Germany $0.37/KWh, UK $0.26/KWh.

Germany has the highest electricity prices worldwide. In December 2020, German households were charged around 0.37 U.S. dollars per kilowatt hour plus value added tax. By comparison, in neighboring Poland, residents paid about half as much, while households in the United States were charged even less.

Re: Energy companies collapse
Again (and I know from your previous posts context & nuance are not close acquaintances of yours), it all depends on the overall economic picture re affordability.
Anyway, Vladimir Vladimirovich has decided to play nice…
