Introduction of a power generation price cap across Europe for combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plants could result in a considerable decrease in European energy bills. In a price cap scenario, the total increase in European energy bills in 2022 compared to the previous year is estimated to total *** billion euros. Meanwhile, an increase in energy bills of more than *** billion euros is the estimated result when no price cap is introduced.

This table contains consumer prices for electricity and gas. Weighted average monthly prices are published broken down into transport rate, delivery rates and taxes, both including and excluding VAT. These prices are published on a monthly basis. The prices presented in this table were used to compile the CPI up to May 2023. Prices for newly offered contracts were collected. Contract types that are no longer offered, but have been in previous reporting periods, are imputed. The average can therefore diverge from the prices paid for energy contracts by Dutch households.

Data available from January 2018 up to May 2023.

Status of the figures: The figures are definitive.

Changes as of 17 July 2023: This table will no longer be updated. Due to a change in the underlying data and accompanying method for calculcating average energy prices, a new table was created. See paragraph 3.

Changes as of 13 February: Average delivery rates are not shown in this table from January 2023 up to May 2023. With the introduction of the price cap, the average energy rates (delivery rates) of fixed and variable energy contracts together remained useful for calculating a development for the CPI. However, as a pricelevel, they are less useful. Average energy prices from January 2023 up to May 2023 are published in a customized table. In this publication, only data concerning new variable contracts are taken into account

When will new figures be published? Does not apply.

Low income households in Estonia may be required to use up to 25 percent of their income for energy bills in 2022, the highest share of any country in Europe. The rising inflation amid worsening energy supply issues are hitting the poorest particularly hard. In the United Kingdom, price caps (the maximum amount that energy suppliers are allowed to charge per annum) have already been raised significantly and are expected to increase further over the coming months. Here, households in the lowest 20th percentile could see around 15 percent of their income going towards covering electricity and heating costs.

This table contains figures on consumer prices for electricity and gas. These are subdivided into transport prices, delivery prices and taxes (including and excluding VAT). The figures are published as weighted average monthly prices. The average energy prices published here are the prices as used for the consumer price index (CPI) up to and including May 2023. Prices of new contracts were observed at the CPI. Contracts that were offered by energy companies in previous periods, but not in the relevant reporting period, have been mathematically continued and included in the calculation of the average tariff. The average prices in this table may therefore deviate from the average prices that Dutch households pay for energy. Data available from January 2018 to May 2023. Status of the figures: The data are final. Changes as of July 20, 2023: None, this table has been discontinued. Due to a change in the underlying data and associated method for calculating average energy rates, a new table will be published on 20 July. See section 3. Changes as of February 13, 2023: From January 2023, the average delivery rates will not be published. With the introduction of the price cap, the average energy rates (supply rates) of fixed and variable energy contracts together were very useful to calculate a development for the CPI. As a price point, however, they are less useful. The delivery rates from January 2023 to May 2023 are published in a custom table based on the data for new variable contracts. When will new numbers come out? Not applicable anymore.

As of December 2023, Guatemala had the highest household electricity price among Latin American countries, with an average of *** U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. Argentina reported the lowest rate among the countries displayed, at less than **** U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. Electricity prices across the American continent Electricity prices vary considerably across the American continent. The Caribbean country of Jamaica accounted for the highest household electricity price on the continent, after Guatemala and Uruguay, at **** U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. In comparison, the residential electricity price in the United States amounted to approximately **** U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour, like in Brazil. Global electricity prices With the energy crisis of 2022, global electricity prices boomed to unprecedented values in most countries worldwide. The wildest price spikes occurred in countries that heavily rely on fossil fuels and energy imports, like the European countries. In some cases, price caps set by governmental institutions kept domestic electricity prices under a certain threshold, such as in Brazil.

This table shows the average prices paid for natural gas and electricity. The total prices represent the sum of energy supply prices and network prices.

The total price is the price paid by an end-user, for instance a household or an industrial company consuming energy in their production process. Natural gas used for non-energy purposes or for electricity generation is excluded from the data.

The price cap set by the Dutch government for 2023 has now been incorporated into the prices.

Data available from: 1st semester of 2009

Status of the figures: The figures in this table are provisional for the two most recent semesters, and the annual figures follow the status of the second semester of the relevant reporting year. The remaining figures are final.

Changes as of March 28: Figures for the second half of 2024 have been added.

When will new figures be published? New provisional figures will be published three months after the semesters end, at the end of September and at the end of March.
