According to Eurostat data for the second half of 2025, electricity prices for households across the European Union remained relatively stable, averaging 28.96 euros per 100 kWh compared to 28.79 euros in the first half of the year. Cyprus recorded the largest decrease in the EU at 14.7%, with costs in purchasing power standards dropping to 30.37 euros per 100 kWh. Other significant decreases were noted in France at 12.5% and Denmark at 11.9%. Conversely, Romania saw the highest price surge at 58.6%, followed by Austria at 34.3% and Ireland at 32.7%. Ireland also reported the highest absolute prices at 40.42 euros per 100 kWh, while Hungary offered the lowest at 10.82 euros.

Current prices remain significantly higher than those recorded before the 2022 energy crisis.
