3.1. Data description | |||
European statistics on natural gas prices for household and final non-household customers. |
|||

Internal Eurostat classification system based on annual natural gas consumption bands and tax levels. |
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||
Household sector and final non-household sector (industry, services, offices, agriculture, etc). |
|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
The prices are collected in national currencies per GJ and according to different bands of consumption. For the households sector, these bands are:
For the final non-households sector, the bands are:
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:
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:
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 D1:D3 and I1:I6) and published. Confidentially issues apply to the consumption share for the bands I4 and I5, as result they are not disseminated. VAT (TVA) for gas is refunded at 100% for purchases for commercial purposes in Luxembourg for the industrial sector (I1:I6). |
|||

Prices are reported in national currency per GJ. However, Eurostat also calculates and publishes the prices in EURO and PPS (purchasing power parity) and do the conversion to kWh. |
|
|||
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). |

17.2.1. Data revision - average size | |||
All the 2nd semester questionnaires from 2019 to 2021 were revised in 2022 due to a change of methodology. Indeed, “the category environmental taxes now corresponds only to Co2 tax (entered into force in Luxembourg only in 2021) and all others taxes belong to the residual category. This change helps to better monitor the impact of this new tax on price statistics. For consistency reasons with the historical data, this revision applies to the gas annual questionnaires from 2017 to 2020.” Households gas prices collection: 0 Non-households gas prices collection: 0 |
