WattSmart.appElectricity Prices by Country in Europe
This page provides a comparison of electricity prices across European countries and market regions. Prices are shown as today’s average, along with the minimum and maximum intraday values, allowing you to quickly see where electricity is cheapest or most expensive in Europe today.
All data is aggregated from official wholesale electricity market sources and calculated in UTC for consistency.
Electricity Price Comparison by Country and Region
The chart above shows electricity prices using floating bars, where:
- the lower bound of a bar represents the minimum price recorded today for a region;
- the upper bound of a bar represents the maximum price recorded today for a region;
- the marker inside each bar shows the daily average price for a region;
- the horizontal line indicates the European average electricity price;
- darker or more intense colors indicate a larger deviation of the regional average price from the EU average.
This format makes it easy to compare not only average prices, but also price volatility between countries and market zones.
