Electricity price rankings are useful, but they do not explain why neighbouring countries can differ so much.
Generation mix
The power fleet determines exposure to fuel prices, weather and outages.
Taxes and levies
Household bills include more than the wholesale cost of electricity.
Networks and national mechanisms
Network charges, support schemes and regulation vary across Europe.
Consumption bands
Comparable statistics require the same household band. EnergyBoard uses Eurostat band DC in its European ranking.
