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 2027, the EU will implement a second Emission Trading System (EU ETS 2) to cap emissions in buildings, road transport and small industries not covered by the already existing European Emissions Trading System. Substantial uncertainty remains regarding potential price trajectories and their underlying drivers. In light of this, we explore EU ETS 2 price paths using the energy system model PRIMES. We focus on the effect of complementary efficiency policies (EPs), as earlier research suggests they could have a profound impact. Indeed, analyzing three scenarios with different EPs stringency, we find that they make EU ETS 2 prices vary between 71 EUR/tCO2 and 261 EUR/tCO2 in 2030. Despite different instruments driving emission abatement, comparable emission reductions at the EU level (−41%) are achieved in all three scenarios. Energy efficiency policies at both EU and national levels are expected to significantly impact EU ETS 2 price levelsThe more stringent energy efficiency policies are, the lower the EU ETS 2 priceModeled EU ETS 2 prices lie in the range of 71–261 EUR/tCO2, depending on the stringency of complementary energy efficiency policies assumed in scenariosFundamentally modeled EU ETS 2 prices point to the possibility of price stability mechanisms of EU ETS 2 being triggered Energy efficiency policies at both EU and national levels are expected to significantly impact EU ETS 2 price levels The more stringent energy efficiency policies are, the lower the EU ETS 2 price Modeled EU ETS 2 prices lie in the range of 71–261 EUR/tCO2, depending on the stringency of complementary energy efficiency policies assumed in scenarios Fundamentally modeled EU ETS 2 prices point to the possibility of price stability mechanisms of EU ETS 2 being triggered

The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a carbon emission trading scheme (or cap and trade scheme) which began in 2005 and is intended to lower greenhouse gas emissions by the European Union countries. The "ETS prices 2008-2024" dataset contains a summary of ETS prices in 2008-2024.

On January 1, 2025, the largest volume of Russian crude oil shipments went to India, at around ******* metric tons per day based on a 30-day running average. Since the beginning of 2022, the shipments to the European Union (EU) and the United States have decreased significantly. Both the EU and the U.S. imposed sanctions on oil imports from Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The EU banned seaborne crude oil imports starting from December 5, 2022, while the U.S. banned all imports of oil and petroleum products from Russia on March 8, 2022. Existing deals had to be ended by April 22, 2022. Furthermore, the G7, the EU, and Australia imposed a price cap of 60 U.S. dollars per barrel from December 5, 2022, to reduce Russia's energy export revenue, which is one of its largest sources of income. Which countries started buying more oil from Russia? Faced with Western sanctions on Russian oil, Russia increased crude oil shipments to China, India, Turkey, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates. In fact, China contributed the most to Russia's oil export revenue since the war in Ukraine, at approximately *** billion euros as of January 2025. However, the oil price ceiling imposed in December 2022 could make it more difficult for Russia to export to non-Western countries, too. This is because the policy also applies to tankers that belong to the sanctioning countries, as well as those insured or financed by them. For instance, Russian oil cannot be transported to Turkey for a price above the market cap if it is insured by EU or United Kingdom (UK) companies. How much does Russia earn from oil exports? Crude oil has traditionally been the main source of fuel and energy export revenue of Russia. Between February 24, 2022, and January 30, 2025, Russia earned around *** billion euros from oil exports, including crude oil and refined products. Over the same period, EU countries paid around *** billion euros for Russian oil.

The cost of UK ETS carbon permits (UKAs) was around *** GBP in February 2023, but prices have fallen considerably since then. Prices on January 16, 2025 were just ***** GBP, down ** percent from the same date the previous year. Formerly part of the EU ETS, the UK launched its own cap-and-trade system in 2021 following Brexit. Why has the UK’s carbon price fallen? Several factors have contributed to falling UK carbon prices, including mild winter weather and reduced power demand, as well as a surplus of carbon allowances on the market. While prices have recovered marginally from the record lows, they remain markedly below carbon prices on the EU ETS. The low cost of UK carbon permits has raised concerns that it could deter investment in renewable energy. Future of UK ETS The UK ETS covers emissions from domestic aviation and the industry and power sectors, amounting to some ** percent of the country’s annual GHG emissions. There are plans to expand the system over the coming years to cover CO₂ venting by the upstream oil and gas sector, domestic maritime emissions, and energy from waste and waste incineration. The UK is also looking to introduce a carbon border adjustment mechanism, which would place a carbon price on certain emissions-intensive industrial goods imported to the UK.
