About this Dataset
Including all taxes and levies, households in Germany pay 0.3852 EUR per kilowatt-hour against 0.1061 in Hungary — a factor of 3.6 within a single integrated electricity market. The panel average is 0.2509 EUR per kWh, +0.0085 on 2024.
Wholesale power prices converge across interconnected European markets. Retail prices do not, because what households pay is mostly taxes, network charges and levies set nationally.
Germany, Ireland, Belgium and Denmark occupy the top of the table. Germany's position is largely policy: decades of renewable-support levies and among the highest electricity taxation in the EU. At the other end, Hungary, Malta and Bulgaria hold household tariffs down through regulation or subsidy. That lowers the metered price without lowering the cost, which reappears in public budgets or in what industrial users pay. Comparing this table with the industrial price ranking shows where that cross-subsidy is largest.
Every row is the figure published for 2025; no value is carried over from an adjacent year to fill a gap. The chart covers the same 27 countries in every year from 2008, so the line moves because the countries moved, not because the sample changed. Prices are for the medium household consumption band (2,500–5,000 kWh a year) and cover the annual average of the two semi-annual collection periods.
