UK Electricity Prices compared to Europe

history-of-electricity

Interesting article in the I newspaper comparing the cost of Electricity in the UK with the rest of Europe.

Their research gives the UK a cost of 41 Euro Centre / kWh This is well above the EC average.

Falling energy costs in the UK have led to a sharp drop in inflation, but electricity bills in the UK are still among the highest in Europe.

Ireland and Great Britain topped the list of most expensive residential electricity prices in Europe last month, according to the Household Energy Price Index (Hepi).

The cost of electricity, including taxes, was 48.94 euro cents per kilowatt hour (c€/kWh) in Dublin and 41.25 c€/kWh in London in the index, which compared prices in capital cities across Europe.

Residents in London paid an estimated €99 (£86) last month for electricity, according to the calculations for a medium-sized home in Britain.

This was a decrease on last year’s figure for October, when electricity bills were about €102 (£89).

Germany was the third most expensive country for electricity (39.35 c€/kWh), followed by Italy (38.09 c€/kWh), Denmark (37.40 c€/kWh) and Czechia (37.11 c€/kWh).

If medium-sized households in other countries used the same amount of electricity as in Britain, prices last month would have been about €95 (£83) in Berlin, €92 (£80) in Rome, €70 (£61) in Paris and €52 (£45) in Madrid, according to Hepi figures.

We have been told time and time again that our Electricity is largely green and that green is low cost. 

These claims are both grossly untrue. Our rates are high and Green costs are not low.
