About this Dataset
Industrial electricity costs 0.2872 EUR per kilowatt-hour in Ireland and 0.0960 in Finland, a threefold range across the EU. The panel average is 0.2075 EUR per kWh, -0.0047 on 2024.
For an energy-intensive plant running continuously, the spread between the top and bottom of this table is worth tens of millions of euros a year. It is a siting decision, not a line item.
The ranking does not mirror the household table. Hungary ranks fifth here at 0.2667 EUR per kWh despite having the cheapest household electricity of the EU countries covered — the regulated household tariff is paid for partly by business users. Finland and Sweden sit at the bottom on abundant hydro and nuclear generation and comparatively light industrial levies, which is a large part of why Nordic countries have attracted energy-intensive investment while German industry has not.
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 cover the 500–2,000 MWh a year non-household consumption band and include all taxes and levies, VAT included, even though most business users can reclaim VAT; excluding recoverable taxes would lower every figure. The annual figure is the average of the two semi-annual collections.
