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 September 30:
Figures for the first half of 2025 have been added.
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
- 569 until 5 687 m3
- When expressed in GJ this equals: 20 - < 200 GJ.
Most households are in this consumption band.
- Consumption bands non-households
- 28 433 until 284 333 m3
- When expressed in GJ this equals: 1.000 - < 10.000 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
- 2,5 until 5 MWh
- Most households are in this consumption band.
- Consumption bands non-households
- 500 until 2 000 MWh
- 150 000 MWh and higher
