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 578 billion euros. Meanwhile, an increase in energy bills of more than 1.2 billion euros is the estimated result when no price cap is introduced.

The default energy tariff price cap for direct debit customers in the United Kingdom is forecast to surpass 6,600 British pounds in April 2023. This projection continues an increasing trend in the energy tariff price cap, which has risen considerably since 2021 amid a surge in wholesale energy prices. The default tariff price cap is set by Ofgem, the United Kingdom's energy regulator.

The Electricity Supply industry has developed considerably since its liberalisation in 1999. Following a period in which the Big Six suppliers dominated, energy regulator Ofgem endeavoured to introduce greater competition to the market as part of attempts to drive down energy bills. Major mergers and acquisitions effectively brought the dominance of the former Big Six suppliers to an end at the end of 2019-20. Along with weakening electricity consumption, swelling competition has applied further pressure on revenue in recent years. Electricity suppliers' revenue is slated to climb at a compound annual rate of 4.7% to reach £49.8 billion over the five years through 2024-25. The introduction of the standard variable tariff price cap in January 2019 squeezed revenue growth. The pandemic exacerbated the drop in revenue, as widespread tariff reductions compounded the effects of reduced electricity consumption. With suppliers bound by the energy price cap, soaring wholesale prices led to widening operating losses in 2021-22, albeit with a modest revenue recovery. A renewed spike in wholesale prices led to a continued wave of insolvencies among energy suppliers going into 2022-23, with 31 suppliers falling victim to the energy crisis. Soaring non-domestic energy bills and significant hikes to the SVT price cap spurred significant revenue growth in 2022-23, while the transfer of customer accounts from failed suppliers reinstated the dominance of major suppliers. The introduction of the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) and support for business energy customers prevented energy prices from spiralling out of control going into 2023-24. A faster-than-anticipated drop in wholesale electricity prices has eased pressure on operating profit in the current year, contributing to an estimated 10.1% revenue contraction. Revenue is forecast to sink at a compound annual rate of 0.9% to £47.6 billion over the five years through 2029-30. Prices will remain elevated in the medium term as concerns surrounding supplies of Russian fossil fuels into Europe inflate wholesale costs. Wholesale prices are set to stabilise in the long term, spurring tariff reductions. The continued drop in electricity consumption is also set to limit growth prospects in the coming years.

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 Gas Utilities industry comprises all stages required to deliver gas to end users in France, including generation, transmission, distribution and supply. France is almost entirely dependent on imports for its natural gas supply, cutting gas generation and transmission out of the supply chain. This means the industry is dominated by gas supply, though distribution also plays a key role in transporting gas from import terminals to end users. De-industrialisation has spurred a long-term decline in gas consumption in France, with decarbonisation efforts accelerating this downward trend in recent years. Despite falling consumption, revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 12.3% over the five years through 2025, reaching €46 billion. Gas suppliers have been hit by volatility in global energy markets in recent years. Declining gas consumption and falling wholesale market prices spurred a slump in revenue during the pandemic, with a higher number of defaults on customer bills spurring also eating into profitability. Revenue bounced back in 2021 as geopolitical tensions spurred rapid growth in wholesale prices, leading to widespread tariff increases. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a renewed surge in natural gas prices necessitated government intervention through the introduction of a tariff shield. While this limited revenue growth and constrained profitability in household and small business gas supply markets in 2022, the absence of a price cap for large energy users contributed to strong revenue growth. Although natural gas prices dropped by more than two-thirds in 2023, revenue remained well above 2021 levels, as ongoing uncertainty and the abolishment of regulated prices made companies reluctant to cut tariffs significantly. Natural gas prices continued to come down in 2024 and are showing signs of stabilising in 2025. However, this is yet to translate into widespread tariff reductions, owing to ongoing volatility in global commodity markets and a recent hike in GRDF’s distribution tariff. Still, revenue is forecast to decline by 8.4% in 2025.Over the five years through 2030, revenue is slated to fall at a compound annual rate of 0.2% to €45.6 billion. Intensified competition following the de-regulation of prices should limit the scope for significant tariff increases as natural gas prices continue to stabilise. In line with climate goals, gas consumption is set to drop 20% by 2030, weighing on growth prospects. The integration of renewable gases is set to continue to inflate distribution charges, while presenting opportunities for gas suppliers to target eco-conscious households and businesses.

The UK inflation rate was 3.5 percent in April 2025, up from 2.6 percent in the previous month, and the fastest rate of inflation since February 2024. Between September 2022 and March 2023, the UK experienced seven months of double-digit inflation, which peaked at 11.1 percent in October 2022. Due to this long period of high inflation, UK consumer prices have increased by over 20 percent in the last three years. As of the most recent month, prices were rising fastest in the communications sector, at 6.1 percent, but were falling in both the furniture and transport sectors, at -0.3 percent and -0.6 percent respectively.
The Cost of Living Crisis High inflation is one of the main factors behind the ongoing Cost of Living Crisis in the UK, which, despite subsiding somewhat in 2024, is still impacting households going into 2025. In December 2024, for example, 56 percent of UK households reported their cost of living was increasing compared with the previous month, up from 45 percent in July, but far lower than at the height of the crisis in 2022. After global energy prices spiraled that year, the UK's energy price cap increased substantially. The cap, which limits what suppliers can charge consumers, reached 3,549 British pounds per year in October 2022, compared with 1,277 pounds a year earlier. Along with soaring food costs, high-energy bills have hit UK households hard, especially lower income ones that spend more of their earnings on housing costs. As a result of these factors, UK households experienced their biggest fall in living standards in decades in 2022/23. Global inflation crisis causes rapid surge in prices The UK's high inflation, and cost of living crisis in 2022 had its origins in the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the initial waves of the virus, global supply chains struggled to meet the renewed demand for goods and services. Food and energy prices, which were already high, increased further in 2022. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 brought an end to the era of cheap gas flowing to European markets from Russia. The war also disrupted global food markets, as both Russia and Ukraine are major exporters of cereal crops. As a result of these factors, inflation surged across Europe and in other parts of the world, but typically declined in 2023, and approached more usual levels by 2024.

As of December 2023, Guatemala had the highest household electricity price among Latin American countries, with an average of 0.3 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. Argentina reported the lowest rate among the countries displayed, at less than 0.05 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 0.25 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. In comparison, the residential electricity price in the United States amounted to approximately 0.16 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.

Households in Great Britain will have their energy bills capped at 2,500 British pounds per year from October 2022 onwards, due to the measures introduced by the UK government in September of 2022. This will result in savings of around 1,050 for the average household, compared with the previous price cap, which was set to increase to 3,459 per year.

The gas supply industry has experienced a period of significant volatility in recent years. Industry regulator Ofgem encouraged greater competition in the industry prior to the pandemic, leading to a rapid rise in the market share of independent suppliers. This culminated in the effective break-up of the former Big Six energy suppliers in January 2020, following OVO Energy's acquisition of SSE's domestic customer book. However, record-high wholesale prices have reversed the upward trend in market participation since the pandemic, forcing 31 energy suppliers out of the industry. Revenue is forecast to rise at a compound annual rate of 5.5% to reach £23.1 billion over the five years through 2024-25. Widespread tariff reductions compounded a slump in gas consumption by non-domestic users as a result of the pandemic in 2020-21, leading to a decline in revenue. Wholesale gas prices recorded a significant rise in the aftermath of the pandemic, spurring widespread operating losses and insolvencies among suppliers. A renewed spike in wholesale prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine contributed to a surge on non-domestic bills, while significant increases to the energy price cap provoked strong revenue growth. The introduction of the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) and support for business energy customers prevented energy prices from spiralling out of control over the two years through 2023-24. Falling wholesale gas prices and downward trending consumption has lowered revenue and eased pressure on profitability in the current year. Revenue is forecast to slide by 22.9% in 2024-25. Revenue is slated to fall at a compound annual rate of 2% to £20.9 billion over the five years through 2029-30. Households and businesses are likely to continue to conserve energy as bills remain high in the near-term, weighing on revenue. The downward trend in gas consumption will continue to prevail in the coming years as the government continues to seek improved energy efficiency, including through the proposed banning on gas boilers in newbuild homes from 2025.

Electricity costs in the US utility market will be affected with the changes to the pricing of emission allowances. This structure will have implications for the electricity rate design and load management programs. Under the cap-and-trade program to control carbon dioxide emissions, all of the carbon emitting processes covered by the law, such as electric utilities and generators, would have to obtain permits (allowances) for the carbon emitted in the process of producing goods and services. This structure of total revenue requirements from utilities depends on the way allowances are allocated or auctioned, the effect on auction revenue, the total allowances available each year and on the actions taken to reduce emissions. These factors might impact the way that utilities’ marginal costs for energy change and the potential effects on policies whose goal is to influence consumer behavior. The cost difference between peak and the off-peak hours can change not only with time, but also with changes in the assumed price of carbon dioxide (CO2) allowances. Also, under certain conditions, these changes can reduce the economic value of technologies designed to shift the consumption of electricity over a period of time. Read More

The Non-Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal industry has faced many changes, including landfill site closures and new investment in treatment facilities. A dip in waste volumes plus government policies to boost recycling and waste treatment have elevated demand for non-hazardous waste treatment and disposal. Waste incineration generates useful by-products like electricity, steam and compost, elevating revenue and investment in energy from waste plants. Revenue is anticipated to fall at a compound annual rate of 0.4% to £4.2 billion over the five years through 2024-25, including estimated revenue growth of 0.6% in 2024-25. The average profit margin is expected to rise to 16.8%. Waste treatment and disposal services ensure waste handlers earn a living, especially from selling electricity to the grid. The move away from landfilling provides opportunities for EfW to sell electricity to the electricity grid. Energy prices surged in 2022-23, enhancing returns for waste incinerators and driving investment in these plants, expanding the average profit margin. Energy prices are cooling off in 2024-25 due to a fall in Ofgem’s price cap in July 2024, downing returns from burning waste for electricity. Energy prices remain high as of March 2025, reaching £143.40 per megawatts, making burning waste attractive for EfW operators. Revenue is projected to rise at a compound annual rate of 2.8% to £4.8 billion over the five years through 2029-30. Landfill closures are set to continue, limiting capacity, which will raise landfill taxes. Rising landfill taxes will push up costs for waste disposal, encouraging waste companies to focus on collecting recyclable waste. Players must adjust to more stringent environmental standards, so more waste will be diverted from landfills. Producing green energy will enhance the average profit margin for EfW operators because energy prices will remain high in the short term. Large companies are set to invest in new EfW plants.

When large-scale electric vehicles are connected to the grid for unordered charging, it will seriously affect the stability and security of the power system. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a regional power network optimization scheduling method considering vehicle network interaction. Initially, based on the user behavior characteristics and charging and discharging characteristics of electric vehicles, a charging and discharging behavior model of electric vehicles was established. Based on the Monte Carlo sampling algorithm, the scheduling upper and lower limits of each scheduling cycle of electric vehicles were described, and the scheduling potential of each scheduling cycle of electric vehicles was obtained. Then, the electricity price is then used as an incentive parameter to guide EV users to charge during periods of low electricity prices and participate in discharge during periods of peak electricity prices. Aiming at the highest economic efficiency, the best consumption effect of new energy and the smoothest demand-side power curve of regional power grid, a three-objective optimal dispatching model was established. In the later stage, uncertainty factors are taken into consideration by introducing the concept of interval numbers, and an interval multi-objective optimization dispatching model is established. The two dispatching models are solved by NSGA-II algorithm and improved NSGA-II algorithm, and the Pareto solution set is obtained. Finally, based on the analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the optimal scheduling scheme is determined. The Monte Carlo sampling method is used to simulate the user side charging demand, and the effectiveness of this method is verified. In addition, the results of the interval multi-objective optimization model and the deterministic multi-objective optimization model are compared, and it is proved that the solution results of the interval multi-objective model are more adaptive, practical and robust to the uncertain factors.

The Power Systems Planning Group, embedded in the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), has created the Electricity Planning Model (EPM) as a least-cost planning framework. EPM minimizes the costs of expanding and operating a power system while meeting the model's technical, economic, and environmental requirements. EPM is a long-term planning model, which means it optimizes the annual capacity additions based on system costs over multiple years, including fixed (annualized capital and fixed operation and maintenance [O&M]) costs and variable (fuel and variable O&M) costs. Moreover, EPM addresses the dispatch of the generators, decides on the activities per geographical zone and the exchange between them. Furthermore, the model suggests the allocation of spinning reserves among generators and allows for implementing different policies, e.g., emissions limits, fuel, and import limits, spinning reserve requirements, transmissions caps, ramp limits, or carbon prices. Part of the implementation of EPM studies with World Bank clients, more than 100 comprehensive country or regional datasets have been developed to support the model development. As the EPM datasets are openly licensed they, in addition, offer an affordable alternative to costly commercial databases.
