EXPLANATIONS

Within the context of the European Union (EU) harmonization process, data on the end-user average unit price for electricity and natural gas is compiled in compliance with consumption bands specified in the relevant EU regulation through semi-annual questionnaires applied to representatives of the electricity and natural gas suppliers. The unit prices are weighted by amount of final consumption of households and industrial consumers in calculations.

(1) Period I: 1 January – 30 June,
Period II: 1 July – 31 December
(2) Consumption bands (T) are standard consumption intervals which are used in computation of electricity and natural gas prices across the European Union.
