In a survey conducted in 2024 about the Australian publics' opinion on what was to blame for rising electricity prices, ** percent of respondents stated that a reason was excessive profit margins of electricity companies. In contrast, only ** percent of respondents stated the reason was because renewable energy was too expensive.

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.

Electricity is a widely used dataset described by M. Harries and analyzed by J. Gama (see papers below). This data was collected from the Australian New South Wales Electricity Market. In this market, prices are not fixed and are affected by demand and supply of the market. They are set every five minutes. Electricity transfers to/from the neighboring state of Victoria were done to alleviate fluctuations.

The dataset (originally named ELEC2) contains 45,312 instances dated from 7 May 1996 to 5 December 1998. Each example of the dataset refers to a period of 30 minutes, i.e. there are 48 instances for each time period of one day. Each example on the dataset has 5 fields, the day of week, the time stamp, the New South Wales electricity demand, the Victoria electricity demand, the scheduled electricity transfer between states and the class label. The class label identifies the change of the price (UP or DOWN) in New South Wales relative to a moving average of the last 24 hours (and removes the impact of longer term price trends).

The data was normalized by A. Bifet.

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) energy storage market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing electricity demand, rising renewable energy integration, and supportive government policies aimed at mitigating climate change. The market, valued at approximately $XX million in 2025 (assuming a logical estimation based on the provided CAGR of >15% and a market size of XX million, the precise base year value is required for precise calculation), is projected to exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 15% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by the burgeoning adoption of lithium-ion batteries, which dominate the technology segment due to their superior energy density and lifecycle performance. Significant growth drivers include the expanding deployment of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, necessitating effective energy storage solutions to manage intermittency. Furthermore, the increasing demand for backup power in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, particularly in rapidly developing economies like China and India, is bolstering market expansion. While challenges exist, such as the high initial investment costs associated with energy storage systems and potential supply chain constraints for raw materials, the long-term outlook remains positive, with significant growth opportunities across various applications and geographies within APAC. The market segmentation reveals that while lithium-ion batteries hold the largest market share, other technologies like lead-acid batteries maintain a presence in specific applications. The residential segment is projected to witness rapid growth due to increasing consumer awareness of energy efficiency and the potential for cost savings through self-consumption of solar power. The industrial sector is another significant driver, with energy storage solutions becoming critical for optimizing grid stability and improving the efficiency of industrial processes. Geographically, China and India are expected to be the key growth engines, driven by their massive populations, expanding economies, and supportive government initiatives. While Japan and South Korea also contribute significantly, the "Rest of Asia-Pacific" region is also expected to see substantial growth, reflecting increasing energy storage adoption across various countries in the region. Major players like BYD, LG Chem, CATL, Tesla, and Panasonic are actively shaping the market landscape through technological innovations, strategic partnerships, and aggressive expansion strategies. Recent developments include: In December 2022, the Australian government announced that eight large batteries to store renewable energy would be built around Australia to support the grid and help keep energy prices down. Nearly USD 120 million in funding for the projects will be provided by the government-owned Australian Renewable Energy Agency (Arena). The batteries will be located in Gnarwarre, Moorabool, and Mortlake in Victoria, Mount Fox and Western Downs in Queensland, Liddell in New South Wales, and Bungama and Blyth in South Australia. These batteries will range from 200-300 MWh each, have grid-forming inverter technology and are expected to come online by 2025., In March 2022, Indonesia's state-owned utility PLN signed an agreement with the Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC) to launch a 5MW battery energy storage system (BESS) pilot project.. Notable trends are: Commercial Sector to Witness Significant Growth.

As Australia looks to a cleaner future, solar power offers a bright alternative to emissions-intensive fossil fuels. Advances in solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies have made solar commercially viable, with China manufacturing most of the world's solar panels. In contrast to small-scale solar, which is covering more Australian homes than ever before, the utility-scale market remains relatively untapped. Buoyed by public sector support, private capital is now flooding into new solar projects and propelling capacity growth. Larger farms are being constructed to generate economies of scale and serve industrial firms. Amid vocal consumer and shareholder support for clean energy, businesses are adopting net-zero targets and locking in Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with solar generators, while also creating demand for Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs). In recent years, solar generators have capitalised on inflated wholesale electricity prices and banked healthy profit margins. The lack of material inputs has saved solar generators from high coal and gas prices, which surged in 2021-22 and 2022-23. Wholesale electricity markets are pegged to global fossil fuel prices because fossil fuel electricity generation is important in Australia's electricity supply chain. This meant that while wholesale electricity prices surged to unprecedented highs, solar power generation’s profitability also rose sharply. This shock tapered off in 2023-24, with declining wholesale prices contributing to the industry's first ever decline in annual revenue. However, revenue is expected to expand 8.7% in 2024-25, as wholesale prices have jumped and generation capacity has continued to expand as more solar farms have come through the pipeline. In total, revenue is expected to have surged at an annualised 28.9% over the five years through 2024-25, to $2.1 billion. Solar power generators will face headwinds in the coming years. Wholesale markets are set to continue being erratic as renewable capacity grows and coal-fired generators start to close. Annual revenue will be constrained despite continued growth in the volume of power generated by large-scale solar. Electricity wholesale prices are forecast to recede, particularly over the medium term, as renewables account for a larger share of the energy mix. At the same time, LGC markets will contend with a fixed Renewable Energy Target, which is set at an already-met 33,000 GWh until 2030. Overall, revenue is projected to climb at an annualised 9.6% over the five years through 2029-30, to $3.4 billion.
