Ireland has seen an overall increase in the price of diesel fuel since 2000, with prices amounting to **** euros per liter in 2021. Between 2009 and 2012 prices sharply increased, peaking at **** euros per liter in the latter year. The following four years experienced annual decreases in prices, however, since 2016 prices have been increasing again. Monthly diesel prices were highest in the fall of 2018, when they climbed to ***** British pence per liter and notably fell during the coronavirus pandemic in the spring of 2020. However, the recent Europe-wide energy supply shortage has had a huge impact on liquid fuel prices in the country, driving diesel prices past 120 pence per liter in the summer and fall months.Oil price slump 2020It is not just Ireland that has seen significant price decrease in the spring and summer of 2020. Lockdowns and reduced oil demand due to mobility restrictions have impacted the price of diesel globally. The cost per barrel of Brent crude oil declined by an average of ** U.S. dollars per barrel in 2020 compared to 2019.Diesel cars the most popular in Ireland despite fall in salesDespite a decline in the overall number of diesel cars sold in Ireland, and a growth in electric car sales in recent years, diesel-powered passenger cars remain the most popular. In 2020, over ****** diesel cars were purchased by drivers in Ireland. However, the decrease in sales signals a shift away from this engine type.

This dataset provides values for GASOLINE PRICES reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

Diesel is among the most expensive motor fuels in Northern Ireland. In March 2024, diesel prices were nine pence higher than average prices for unleaded ** octane fuel (regular gasoline). The previous month, diesel prices were even higher than those for super unleaded fuel, usually the most expensive option.

UK conventional fuel car sales in decline When looking at the fuel types of new cars registered in the UK, diesel has notably fallen out of favor. In 2018, nearly a third of all newly-registered passenger cars were powered by a diesel engine. By 2022, this figure had decreased to just five percent. Diesel's decline has largely come about due to greater popularity of alternative fuels, a shift in consumer preference that has also impacting petrol car sales. Today, battery electric and hybrid-electric vehicles account for roughly one third of car registrations. The plug-in electric vehicle fleet in Northern Ireland came stood at nearly ****** units as of 2022.

Supermarkets offer consistently lower fuel prices When comparing prices across UK retailers, supermarkets were found to offer motor fuel at prices that were on average three pence per liter cheaper than the UK average.

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 prices in Europe are expected to remain volatile through 2025, with Italy projected to have some of the highest rates among major European economies. This trend reflects the ongoing challenges in the energy sector, including the transition to renewable sources and the impact of geopolitical events on supply chains. Despite efforts to stabilize the market, prices still have not returned to pre-pandemic levels, such as in countries like Italy, where prices are forecast to reach ****** euros per megawatt hour in September 2025. Natural gas futures shaping electricity costs The electricity market's future trajectory is closely tied to natural gas prices, a key component in power generation. Dutch TTF gas futures, a benchmark for European natural gas prices, are projected to be ***** euros per megawatt hour in July 2025. The reduced output from the Groningen gas field and increased reliance on imports further complicate the pricing landscape, potentially contributing to higher electricity costs in countries like Italy. Regional disparities and global market influences While European electricity prices remain high, significant regional differences persist. For instance, natural gas prices in the United States are expected to be roughly one-third of those in Europe by March 2025, at **** U.S. dollars per million British thermal units. This stark contrast highlights the impact of domestic production capabilities on global natural gas prices. Europe's greater reliance on imports, particularly in the aftermath of geopolitical tensions and the shift away from Russian gas, continues to keep prices elevated compared to more self-sufficient markets. As a result, countries like Italy may face sustained pressure on electricity prices due to their position within the broader European energy market. As of August 2025, electricity prices in Italy have decreased to ****** euros per megawatt hour, reflecting ongoing volatility in the market.

The average wholesale electricity price in November 2025 in Ireland is forecast to amount to********euros per megawatt-hour. During the period in consideration, figures reached a record high in August 2022, at over *** euros per megawatt-hour.

The electricity delivery process has experienced a major shift in recent years, driven by a push to reduce emissions. Governments across Europe are actively moving away from conventional sources of electricity generation, leading to a decline in the continent's dependency on fossil fuels. In 2022, nearly 40% of electricity generated in the EU came from renewable sources, compared with 25% in 2012. The rise of renewables has spurred an influx of renewable generators and necessitated increased investment in electricity networks. This has lifted revenue for transmission and distribution network operators. Revenue is forecast to rise at a compound annual rate of 7.1% over the five years through 2024, reaching €3.2 billion. Falling wholesale prices and a reduction in overall electricity consumption spurred a drop in revenue during the pandemic. Excess demand for natural gas as economies loosened pandemic-related restrictions spurred a strong rebound in wholesale electricity prices in 2021, translating to a jump in revenue. Wholesale prices recorded a renewed spike following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, spurring a surge in revenue generated by electricity producers and suppliers. Renewable generators were able to rake in extra profits from electricity sold to wholesale markets at inflated prices, counterbalancing a significant rise in costs for fossil fuel generators and electricity suppliers. Revenue is forecast to decline by 8.6% in 2024 as wholesale prices continue to decline from record highs and electricity consumption remains subdued. Revenue is forecast to increase at a compound annual rate of 0.5% over the five years through 2029 to €3.2 billion. The revised Renewable Energy Directive of the EU has set a goal for 69% of electricity to be generated from renewables by 2030. Electricity generators will continue expanding their renewables capacity, while investment in upgrading the electricity network to accommodate the rapid shift to renewables will boost income for transmission and distribution network operators. Rising renewable electricity generation will place downward pressure on wholesale prices, while a long-term decline in electricity consumption in advanced economies will weigh on revenue.
