What a household pays for power and heat decides how fast people switch to heat pumps, electric cars and efficient homes. This tab follows those prices across the countries of the European Union, and the stock of gas that Europe keeps for winter.
Updates Household prices are published by Eurostat twice a year, and gas stores are updated every day. The page is checked once a day, so new figures appear within a day of publication.
Household electricity prices by country
What it shows: The price of one kilowatt hour of electricity for households in each country of the European Union, published twice a year.
What it means for the planet: The cheaper clean electricity is compared with gas and petrol, the faster households switch to heat pumps and electric cars.
Keep in mind: Prices include taxes and charges that differ from country to country, so a gap between two countries often reflects policy as much as the cost of making power.
What it shows: How full the underground gas stores of the European Union are, compared with the same dates in earlier years.
What it means for the planet: Gas heats homes and makes electricity. Full stores ease worry before winter, and low stores can raise prices and strengthen the push to save.
Keep in mind: The fill level says nothing about how much gas Europe burns in total.
