FAQ

Why is the data from H2 2025?
Eurostat publishes household gas prices semi-annually with approximately 6 months delay. H2 2025 is the most recent officially available period. The next update is expected around Q2 2026. Source: Eurostat (nrg_pc_203), consumption band < 1,000 GJ/year.
What is included in the gas price?
The displayed price includes the energy component, network charges, taxes and levies — the actual end-consumer price for household customers.
Why do gas prices differ across Europe?
Price differences result from varying dependence on imports (Russia, LNG, Norway), infrastructure, storage capacity and tax policies. Countries with domestic gas production or long-term supply contracts often pay less.
