3.1. Data description | |||
European statistics on electricity prices for household and final non-household customers. |
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
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: DA: customers consuming less than 1000 kWh.
For the final non-household sector, the bands are: IA: customers consuming less than 20 MWh.
There exist 2 different levels of disagregation for semestrial and annual prices:
Semestrial prices: These prices are reported twice a year and are divided in 3 levels: Level 1 prices: prices excluding taxes and levies.
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: generation, aggregation, balancing energy, supplied energy costs, customer services, after-sales management and other supply costs.
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. Some of the taxes are refundable. Here is a description of them:
IA-IF VAT Value added taxes (VAT)
In the table below are the taxes reported in "All other taxes"
IA-IF Support for the price discount of electricity purchases of pensioners and employees of the electricity industry IA-IF Cogeneration restructuring fee IA-IF Fee to support the restructuring of the coal industry (“coal cent”) – From 2019 it is zero. |
|||
3.5. Statistical unit | |||
Household and final non-household consumers divided into consumption bands. |
|||
3.6. Statistical population | |||
Household customers: Data coming from 3 suppliers out of 3 and representing 100% of the household customers. Final non-household customers: Data coming from 20 suppliers out of 20 and representing 100% of the final non-household customers. |

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). |

The HEA collects full-scale administrative data from its licensees, which provide high quality outputs. There was a complete methodology supervision in 2013, since then the forms have guidelines for completing. This guidelines were discussed with the data suppliers. In 2018 (parallel with the improvement of the Eurostat methodology) the HEA made some corrections in the methodology, clarified some remaining questions and initiated an additive reporting obligation for the DSO’s to improve its report’s quality. |
|
|||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||
There are several users of this output, including the governance, general public, the different departments of HEA (market monitoring, analysis purposes), different stakeholders of the electricity markets and non-household users. The most important aspect for them is the comparability (geographical and over time). |

|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
The HEA collects full-scale administrative data from its licensees, which provide high quality outputs, however random errors can occur. Most common issue is the misinterpretation of the measurements (data imputed in MJ/TJ instead of GJ, HUF instead of thousand HUF, etc…) A price element is not reported, and no valid reason is given for the omission of said price element. Timeline analysis shows, that a given trader/universal service provider/DSO/TSO did not report an element that they reported before (missing value). |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||

After arrival, the HEA checks the micro-data for correctness, consistency and completeness and national averages are calculated and reported to Eurostat during the third month after the reference period. |
|||
14.1.1. Time lag - first result | |||
The first version of the electricity price questionnaire for households for the 1st semester of 2019 was sent in time. |

|||
15.1.1. Asymmetry for mirror flow statistics - coefficient | |||
Not applicable |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
The HEA collects full-scale administrative data from its licensees, which provide high quality outputs. There was a complete methodology supervision in 2013, since then the forms have guidelines for completing. This guidelines were discussed with the data suppliers. In 2018 (parallel with the improvement of the Eurostat methodology) the HEA made some corrections in the methodology, clarified some remaining questions and initiated an additive reporting obligatory for the DSO’s to improve its report’s quality. So, there are 3 time series, which are not fully comparable: - before 2013 (partially validated data) - 2013-2017 (fixed methodology) - 2018 onwards (different methodology on network costs and taxes) |
|||

|
|||
Not assessed, it is not a significant cost for HEA. The current method is the best solution to reach high quality data, but minimalize the burden of respondents. The current respondents register the collected data in their system for business purposes, therefore data collection implies only limited additional costs. |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
There is no systematic revision, if needed, data is updated with the next upload cycle. |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
The HEA collects full-scale administrative data from its licensees, which provide high quality outputs. There was a complete methodology supervision in 2013, since then the forms have guidelines for completing. This guidelines were discussed with the data suppliers. In 2018 (parallel with the improvement of the Eurostat methodology) the HEA made some corrections in the methodology, clarified some remaining questions and initiated an additive reporting obligatory for the DSO’s to improve its report’s quality. So, there are 3 time series, which are not comparable: - before 2013 (partially validated data) - 2013-2017 (fixed methodology) - 2018 onwards (different methodology on network costs and taxes) The settlements between the participants of the electricity market can be done up to after two months of the reference period, they can initiate self-revision on their reports. The provided data is used several parts of HEA, more colleagues check the data and that is why the clarification takes time. In every reporting period HEA check the previous data sets if there is any changes and updates the reports. |
