This is the price a household pays per kilowatt-hour of electricity, with all taxes, levies and VAT included. It is for a household that uses 2,500 to 5,000 kWh a year, the middle one of Eurostat’s five household consumption bands (band DC), and it is the average over the half-year: January to June for the first half, July to December for the second. It covers the electricity itself, network charges, meter rental and other services, with fixed charges spread over the kilowatt-hours. Prices in countries outside the euro area are converted into euros at the average exchange rate of the half-year. Price caps, regulated tariffs and support schemes differ between countries, so comparisons have limits.
