What are energy prices like elsewhere in Europe?

The UK is paying the second highest amount of electricity in Europe, only topped by the Czech Republic, according to the Household Energy Price Index (HEPI).

It can be difficult to do a direct comparison of energy prices across countries, so HEPI looked at household electricity and gas costs in European capital cities in July 2022, focusing on the average price per kWh.

HEPI uses an artificial currency called purchasing power standards (PPS) to create a more accurate comparison.

The latest figures in July show the UK is paying more than 51.85 pps per kWh of electricity, just under Czech Republic’s 52.15 pps.

To compare, France is paying 23.2 pps for kWh, and Germany 35.93 pps.

According to HEPI, the top ten most expensive European countries for electricity are:

Czech Republic
UK
Italy
Estonia
Denmark
Latvia
Cyprus
Netherlands
Belgium
Germany
