European statistics on electricity prices for household and final non-household customers.

Internal Eurostat classification system based on annual electricity consumption bands and tax levels.

Household sector and final non-household sector (industry, services, offices, agriculture, etc).

The prices are reported in national currencies per kWh and according to different bands of consumption.

For the household sector, these bands are:

• DA: customers consuming less than 1000 kWh.
• DB: customers consuming 1000 kWh or more but less than 2500 kWh.
• DC: customers consuming 2500 kWh or more but less than 5000 kWh.
• DD: customers consuming 5000 kWh or more but less than 15000 kWh.
• DE: customers consuming 15000 kWh or more.

For the final non-household sector, the bands are:

• IA: customers consuming less than 20 MWh.
• IB: customers consuming 20 MWh or more but less than 500 MWh.
• IC: customers consuming 500 MWh or more but less than 2000 MWh.
• ID: customers consuming 2000 MWh or more but less than 20000 MWh.
• IE: customers consuming 20000 MWh or more but less than 70000 MWh.
• IF: customers consuming 70000 MWh or more but less than 150000 MWh.
• IG: customers consuming 150000 MWh or more.

There exist 2 different levels of disagregation for semestrial and annual prices:

1- Semestrial prices:

These prices are reported twice a year and are divided in 3 levels:

• Level 1 prices: prices excluding taxes and levies.
• Level 2 prices: prices excluding VAT and other recoverable taxes and levies.
• Level 3 prices: prices including all taxes and levies.

2- Annual prices:

These prices are reported once a year together with the data for the second semester and are divided into the following components and taxes:

• Energy and supply: meaning that generation, aggregation, balancing energy, supplied energy costs, customer services, after-sales management and other supply costs.
• Network cost: it refers to transmission and distribution tariffs, transmission and distribution losses, network costs, after-sale service costs, system service costs, and meter rental and metering costs.
• Value added taxes (VAT): Electricity is subject to a reduce VAT rate (8%).
• Renewable taxes: This category refers to the additional indirect tax levied in electricity users that finances the Public service obligation compensation mechanism (Mécanisme de compensation pour obligation de service public).
• Capacity taxes: Nothing to be reported at the moment
• Environmental taxes: Nothing to be reported at the moment
• Nuclear taxes: Not applicable for Luxembourg
• All other taxes: it is a residual category covering all other excises

In addition to these elements, the network cost is split into the respective shares of transmission and distribution. The relative share of consumption in the different consumption bands is used to calculated the single national electricity prices (weighted averages for consumer bands IA-IF and DA-DE) and published. Confidentiality issues apply to the consumption share for the bands IF and IG, as result they are not disseminated.

VAT (TVA) for electricity is refunded at 100% for purchases for commercial purposes in Luxembourg for the industrial sector (IA:IG).

Household and final non-household consumers divided into consumption bands.

Household customers: Data coming from four suppliers out of four and representing 100% of the household customers.

Final non-household customers: Data coming from four suppliers out of four and representing 100% of the final non-household customers.

Luxembourg

Electricity prices data for Luxembourg are available since 2008.

Not applicable.

Prices are reported in national currency per kWh. However, Eurostat also calculates and publishes the prices in EURO and PPS (purchasing power parity).
Relative shares of sub-component of the network component and consumption volumes are reported in percentages.

For semestrial prices, the reference periods are from January to June for semester 1 and from July to December for semester 2.

For annual prices, the reference period is the whole calendar year (from January to December).

• one supplier represents more than 75% of the market of the band

A release calendar is not available at STATEC but the price data are regularly disseminated at an aggragated level just after the validation on the STATEC website.
