This dashboard presents monthly and annual prices series collected as part of the study on energy prices, costs and their impact on industry and households. For electricity and natural gas these cover wholesale prices, and retail prices for households (including taxes) and industry (excluding recoverable taxes and levies). For petroleum products these include crude oil prices, and the retail price of petrol, diesel and heating oil (with and without taxes).
Prices are provided for the period 2008 to 2022 where data is available. Prices have been adjusted for inflation and are expressed in Euro 2021 (constant price) terms. Further methodological details and a list of used sources can be found in the main report (see the link above).
The EU average series represents the (final consumption) weighted average of prices for the current EU, and the maximum and minimum prices represent the highest and lowest price recorded across the 27 EU Member States for that period.
The Member State price series represent the consumption band (published by Eurostat) with the highest share of the market within the country, most typically for electricity Band DC (household) and ID (industry), and for natural gas Band D2 (household) and I4 (industry). For petrol and diesel prices the EU series represents the composition of the EU at that moment in time, including Croatia only since July 2013, and the UK until end 2019. For some datapoints, it was not clear if all taxes were or were not included. These cases are marked by an asterisk (*). Also, for some countries, there is only a single datapoint per year, which refers to the annual average; If there are 4 datapoints, these refer to quarterly averages.
