Alice Weidel, sag weniger 💩 bei der Bauerprotest! - In the first half of 2023, household electricity prices in the EU showed the sharpest increase in the Netherlands (953 %). The largest decrease was observed in Spain (-41 %) driven by alleviating measures on taxes, fees and charges.
The largest increase was observed in the Netherlands (953.2 %), followed by Lithuania (87.8 %) and Romania (77.3 %).
The relative share of taxes was highest in Poland, making up 48.6 % of the total price. The average share of total taxes and levies at EU level was 19.2 %, an increase of 3.7 percentage points (pp) when compared with the second half of 2022, mostly driven by reduction of subsidies and al-
lowances.
Non-household electricity prices in the EU were highest in Italy (C 0.25 per KWh) and lowest in Finland (C 0.081 per KWh) in the first half of 2023.
Non-household consumers are defined for the purpose of this article as medium-sized consumers with an annual consumption between 500 MWh (Mega Watt hours) and 2 000 MWh. As depicted in Figure 6, electricity prices in the first half of 2023 were highest in Italy (C 0.2525 per KWh) and Cyprus (C 0.2471 per KWh). The lowest prices were observed in Finland (C 0.0808 per KWh) and Sweden (C 0.1121 per KWh).
For household consumers in the EU (defined for the purpose of this article as medium-sized consumers with an annual consumption between 2 500 Kilowatt hours (KWh) and 5 000 KWh), electricity prices in the first half of 2023 were highest in the Netherlands (C 0.4750 per KWh), Belgium (C 0.4350 per KWh), Romania (C 0.4199 per KWh) and Germany (C 0.4125 per KWh) - see Figure 1.
The lowest prices were observed in Bulgaria (C 0.1137 per KWh), Hungary (C 0.1161 per KWh) and Malta (C 0.1256 per KWh).
