Electricity Prices are surveyed across 5 bands of various annual consumption. This chart represents the 2nd highest annual consumption (DD Band for Domestic & ID for Industrial) and represents usage of between 2500 kWh & 15000 kWh in 1 year for Domestic and between 2000 MWh & 20,000 MWh for Commercial. These prices are for the 2nd half of 2008 and are in Euro for KWH - Kilowatt/hour.
Member States must report national prices to Eurostat that are representative for the whole country. These national prices represent weighted average prices, using the market shares of electricity supply undertakings as weighted factors. Arithmetic average price will be provided only when weighted figures cannot be calculated.
In either case, Member States must ensure that a representative share of the national market is covered by the survey. The prices that are shown represent prices excluding VAT and other recoverable taxes.

Prices for large industrial end-users are not applicable for Luxembourg, and confidential for Ireland and Slovenia.
