Explanation of symbols

Table explanation


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.

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 remaining figures are final.

Changes as of March 31:
Figures for the second half and the year of 2025 have been added.
Network prices for end-users have been changed moderately due to an improvement in combining the available data sources.

Changes as of September 30:

The network prices for final non-household customers will from now on, and dating back to 2009, be derived from administrative data sources. This now follows the methodology for households. Consumption data can be combined with tariffs that are published on the websites of the network companies, providing the necessary data to compile the prices. The change in methodology is carried out for the full time-series, making sure the network prices are consistent and price changes are not the result of varying measurement approaches.

When will new figures be published?
New provisional figures will be published three months after the semesters end, at the end of September and at the end of March.

Description topics

Natural gas price
Natural gas is transported per cubic metre. The conversion to Joule is based on de gross calorific value (GCV). 1 m3 = 35,17 MJ (Megajoule). The conversion back to cubic metre: 1 TJ (Terajoule) = 1000 GJ (Gigajoule) = 28433 m3.
The consumption bands are based on annual consumption.
Consumption bands households
Less than 569 m3
When expressed in GJ this equals: less than 20 GJ.
569 until 5 687 m3
When expressed in GJ this equals: 20 - < 200 GJ.
Most households are in this consumption band.
5 687 m3 and higher
When expressed in GJ this equals: ≥ 200 GJ.
Consumption bands non-households
Less than 28 433 m3
When expressed in GJ this equals: less than 1000 GJ.
28 433 until 284 333 m3
When expressed in GJ this equals: 1.000 - < 10.000 GJ.
284 333 until 2 843 332 m3
When expressed in GJ this equals: 10.000 - < 100.000 GJ.
2 843 332 until 28 433 324 m3
When expressed in GJ this equals: 100.000 - < 1.000.000 GJ.
28 433 324 m3 and higher
When expressed in GJ this equals: ≥ 1.000.000 GJ
Electricity price
1 MWh (Megawatthour) = 1000 kWh (Kilowatthour) = 3,6 GJ (Gigajoule).
The consumption bands are based on annual consumption.
Consumption bands households
Less than 1 MWh
1 until 2,5 MWh
2,5 until 5 MWh
Most households are in this consumption band.
5 until 15 MWh
15 MWh and higher
Consumption bands non-households
Less than 20 MWh
20 unitl 500 MWh
500 until 2 000 MWh
2 000 until 20 000 MWh
20 000 until 70 000 MWh
70 000 until 150 000 MWh
150 000 MWh and higher
