Germany Electricity decreased 17.60 EUR/MWh or 15.21% since the beginning of 2025, according to the latest spot benchmarks offered by sellers to buyers priced in megawatt hour (MWh). This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Germany Electricity Price.

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. The breakdown of household electricity prices in 2023 showed that supply and margin, along with energy procurement, constituted the largest controllable components, amounting to **** and **** euro cents per kilowatt-hour, respectively. While prices have decreased since the 2022 peak, they remain higher than pre-crisis levels, underscoring the ongoing challenges in Germany's energy sector as it continues its transition towards renewable sources.

Industrial electricity prices including electricity tax reached ***** cents per kilowatt-hour in Germany, as of March 2025. Figures fluctuated during the specified timeline. The largest share of industrial electricity costs was due to energy procurement, network charges and distribution.

Germany - Electricity prices: Medium size households was EUR0.40 Kilowatt-hour in December of 2024, according to the EUROSTAT. Trading Economics provides the current actual value, an historical data chart and related indicators for Germany - Electricity prices: Medium size households - last updated from the EUROSTAT on December of 2025. Historically, Germany - Electricity prices: Medium size households reached a record high of EUR0.41 Kilowatt-hour in December of 2023 and a record low of EUR0.24 Kilowatt-hour in December of 2010.

In 2025, the electricity tax for private households in Germany amounted to **** euro cents per kilowatt-hour. Energy procurement and distribution made up the largest part of the costs, at around ** euro cents per kilowatt-hour.

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.

The prices for electricity for non-residential consumers in Germany, for an annual consumption of less than 2,000 megawatt-hours, reached a peak of 20.25 euro cents per kilowatt-hour in 2022, the highest figure reported within the indicated period. The price of electricity for an annual consumption between 20,000 and 70,000 megawatt hour also peaked in 2022, at some 19.05 euro cents per kilowatt-hour, up from roughly 13 euro cents per kilowatt-hour in the prior year.

As of April 1, 2024, commercial customers in Germany with an annual consumption of ** megawatt hours paid around **** cents per kilowatt hour of electricity. At the same time, industrial customers with an annual consumption of ** gigawatt hours paid around ** cents per kilowatt hour of electricity. Both figures had decreased compared to 2023.

Wrangled Data

Between 2010 and 2013, there was a noticeable increase in the price of electricity for households in Germany. At the start of the decade households using between 2.500 and 5.000 kWh paid less than 24 euro cents per kilowatt-hour, while households using between 1.000 and 2.500 kWh paid more per kilowatt-hour. Prices for households using between 1.000 and 2.500 kWh peaked in the first half of 2019 at 34.53 euro cents. Prices for households using between 2.500 and 5.000 kWh reached a peak at 30.88 euro cents in the first half of 2019. By the second half of 2020, German households consuming between 1.000 and 5.000 kHw payed over 30 euro cents per kilowatt-hour. Electricity prices worldwide Germany is one of the most expensive countries worldwide for electricity supply. In 2018, German customers were charged 0.33 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. Although production is cheap, additional taxes and fees increase the final cost. The renewable surcharge is one of such additional fees hiking up end costs. In 2019, this surcharge made up 21 percent of the final composition of power prices for German households. This levy is to support Germany’s renewables expansion, such as wind, solar, biomass and hydropower installations.
