Your electricity bill, decomposed

The wholesale price is only a slice of what a household pays. This view splits the consumer price into three parts — wholesale energy & supply, grid / network charges, and taxes & levies — and tracks how the wedge moves.

The wholesale price is only a slice of a household bill. In 2024, a German household paid about €0.39 per kWh all-in, split roughly 42% energy and supply, 29% network charges, and 29% taxes and levies.

These are Eurostat country-level components, in €/kWh — not the €/MWh wholesale price the rest of this site tracks.
