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.

Germany - Electricity prices: Non-household, medium size consumers was EUR0.20 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: Non-household, medium size consumers - last updated from the EUROSTAT on December of 2025. Historically, Germany - Electricity prices: Non-household, medium size consumers reached a record high of EUR0.20 Kilowatt-hour in December of 2024 and a record low of EUR0.08 Kilowatt-hour in December of 2017.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dataset comprising data from five day-ahead electricity markets:

Nord pool: The Nord pool day-ahead electricity market, one of the largest European power market. PJM: The zonal prices of the COMED area in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) market. EPEX-FR: The French day-ahead electricity market. EPEX-BE: The Belgian day-ahead electricity market. EPEX-DE: The German day-ahead electricity market. Each market contains 6 years of data (we consider a year to be 364 days to have an integer number of weeks). The specific dates are:

Nord pool: 01.01.2013 – 24.12.2018 PJM: 01.01.2013 – 24.12.2018 EPEX-FR: 09.01.2011 – 31.12.2016 EPEX-BE: 09.01.2011 – 31.12.2016 EPEX-DE: 09.01.2012 – 31.12.2017 Each dataset comprises historical prices and two relevant exogenous inputs based on day-ahead forecasts of price drivers. The day--ahead forecast representing other exogenous inputs are market dependent:

Nord pool: System load + Wind power generation. PJM: System load + Zonal load in the COMED area. EPEX-FR: System load + Generation in France EPEX-BE: System load in France + Generation in France EPEX-DE: Zonal load in the TSO Amprion zone + Aggregated Wind and Solar power generation All datasets are given using the local timezone:

Nord pool: Central European Time (CET) PJM: Eastern Time (ET) EPEX-FR: Central European Time (CET) EPEX-BE: Central European Time (CET) EPEX-DE: Central European Time (CET) For all five datasets, the daylight saving times (DST) are pre-processed by interpolating the missing values in Spring and averaging the values corresponding to the duplicated time indices in Autumn.

DISCLAIMER

We do not own the data, but we simply have gathered it so other researchers can easily test their methods on multiple day-ahead markets. The data has been gathered using the respective websites of each day-ahead market where these data are freely available. The websites we used to gather the data are:

Nord Pool: Nord pool website PJM: PJM website EPEX-FR: ENTSO-E transparency platform + RTE website (French TSO) EPEX-BE: ENTSO-E transparency platform + RTE website (French TSO) + Elia website (Belgian TSO) EPEX-DE: ENTSO-E transparency platform + Amprion TSO website + TenneT website + 50Hertz website

In 2025, the average monthly electricity bill for a 3-person household in Germany amounted to around 116.08 euros, a slight decrease compared to the previous year. Average components of a domestic electricity bill include the net network tariff and energy procurement.
