Electricity prices in Germany are forecast to amount to ***** euros per megawatt-hour in November 2025. Electricity prices in the country have not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Electricity price recovery German electricity prices began recovering back to pre-energy crisis levels in 2024, a period driven by a complex interplay of factors, including increased heating demand, reduced wind power generation, and water scarcity affecting hydropower production. Despite Germany's progress in renewable energy sources, with over ** percent of gross electricity generated from renewable sources in 2024, the country still relies heavily on fossil fuels. Coal and natural gas accounted for approximately ** percent of the energy mix, making Germany vulnerable to fluctuations in global fuel prices. Impact on consumers and future outlook The volatility in electricity prices has directly impacted German consumers. As of April 1, 2024, households with basic supplier contracts were paying around ** cents per kilowatt-hour, making it the most expensive option compared to other providers or special contracts.

In the third quarter of 2025, Bermuda had the highest household electricity prices worldwide, followed by Ireland, Italy, and Germany. At the time, Irish households were charged around 0.44 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour, while in Italy, the price stood at 0.42 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. By comparison, in Russia, residents paid almost 10 times less. What is behind electricity prices? Electricity prices vary widely across the world and sometimes even within a country itself, depending on factors like infrastructure, geography, and politically determined taxes and levies. For example, in Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden, taxes constitute a significant portion of residential end-user electricity prices. Reliance on fossil fuel imports Meanwhile, thanks to their great crude oil and natural gas production output, countries like Iran, Qatar, and Russia enjoy some of the cheapest electricity prices in the world. Here, the average household pays less than 0.1 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. In contrast, countries heavily reliant on fossil fuel imports for electricity generation are more vulnerable to market price fluctuations.

German industrial electricity costs are made up of several components. The largest of these is a combination of energy procurement, network charges, and distribution. Thus far in 2024, this accounted for around **** percent of costs.  What is industrial electricity? Industrial electricity is an extremely broad field, covering electrical power used in production and manufacturing. These are industrial processes. Industrial electrical systems are considerably more complex than those used for residential and commercial purposes, as industrial use by definition includes different types and volumes of demand, operation, and maintenance. Systems in residential buildings require less voltage and are developed for smaller spaces. Commercial electricity is used to power the work of businesses and commercial real estate. Rising electricity prices have been an issue for industries, businesses, and private households around the world since the global energy crisis. As of 2024, commercial electricity prices were noticeably higher than industrial.   Electricity generation in Germany Various energy sources are used to generate electricity in Germany. Not all of them are renewable, or at least the complete energy transition has not happened yet. The leading sources used for electricity generation are wind, lignite (brown coal), and natural gas. Domestic production figures for the latter have been decreasing, thus consequently making Germany reliant on gas imports from other countries.
