3.1. Data description | |||
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. |
|||
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 reported in national currencies per kWh and according to different bands of consumption. For the household sector, these bands are:
For the final non-household 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 reported by the countries and used to calculated the single national electricity prices (weighted averages for consumer bands IA-IF and DA-DE) but not published because it could be used to re-calculate some confidential values. VAT is fully recoverable for non-households customers.

11.1. Quality assurance | |||
In order to establish a comprehensive system of quality, the Croatian Bureau of Statistics applies the model of Total Quality Management, which also contains the Code of Practice of European Statistics. This model offers a possibility of continuous improvement for each business process. It focuses not only on products and services, but also to users and their satisfaction, the active participation of employees, long-term business success and social benefit. The communication is recognized as a key element of all statistical processes that affect the business success.

Non-response is monitored on a regular basis and we inform the units when the deadline is approaching and ask them to fill the questionnaire and send it. We have an excel sheet like an adress book where we keep track on units which sent data.
