Eurostat reports 2025 electricity price trends across EU nations

According to Eurostat data for the second half of 2025, Cyprus recorded the largest decrease in household electricity prices among EU member states, falling by 14.7%. Significant declines were also observed in France at 12.5% and Denmark at 11.9%. Conversely, sharp price increases occurred in Romania by 58.6%, Austria by 34.3%, and Ireland by 32.7%. On average, electricity prices across the EU remained relatively stable, rising slightly from 28.79 euros to 28.96 euros per 100 kWh. Eurostat attributes this minor EU-wide increase to higher taxes and levies, which grew from 27.9% to 28.9% of final bills. While price trends varied significantly by country, overall costs remain considerably higher than levels recorded before the 2022 energy crisis. For Cyprus, electricity prices adjusted for purchasing power standards (PPS) reached 30.37 euros per 100 kWh in the second half of 2025, down from 35.70 euros in the same period of 2024. Among all EU nations, Ireland reported the highest prices at 40.42 euros per 100 kWh, while Hungary saw the lowest at 10.82 euros.
