Comparability

Comparability - geographical

Due to regulation and guidance across countries, the comparability among EU-countries is high. Data can be found in Eurostats database

Comparability over time

The results/prices are fully comparable over time from 2015 and onwards. For previous years there are also high comparability, in particular for largest size groups (non-households).

Changes from one half year to the next are affected by the fact that contracts on purchase can be of very different length. The changes, therefore, are not as for day to day prices.

High prices in particular in 2022 has partly been compensated by a lump sum to household natural gas customers and by deducted electricity taxes for household customers

Coherence - cross domain

Results are not directly comparable to other statistics. However, energy prices are part of price indices for consumers and business and are indirectly used in the overall energy statistics.

Coherence - internal

Many sources are combined to get the results. However, overall consistency exists
