In the second half of 2025, the average electricity price paid by EU households increased slightly to €28.96 per 100 kWh, up from €28.79 in the first half. The rise was driven mainly by higher taxes and levies, which increased to €0.0837 per kWh from €0.0804 and represented 28.9 % of the final bill compared with 27.9 % earlier in the year. Pre‑tax prices fell slightly, but the tax increase offset this, leading to a modest net rise for consumers. Across the Union, prices varied widely: Ireland topped the list at €40.42, while Hungary, Malta and Bulgaria were the lowest at €10.82, €12.82 and €13.55, respectively. National currency comparisons showed significant movements: Romania’s price rose by 58.6 % versus the same period in 2024, Austria and Ireland increased by 34.3 % and 32.7 %, and Cyprus, France and Denmark recorded reductions of 14.7 %, 12.5 % and 11.9 %. The highest purchasing‑power standard prices were in Romania (49.52), Czechia (38.65) and Poland (37.15); the lowest were Malta (14.09), Hungary (15.10) and Finland (18.77). The figures are drawn from Eurostat’s nrg_pc_204 dataset and reflect the second half of 2025.
