This page compares today’s available day-ahead wholesale electricity prices across European countries and bidding zones. For each zone, the widget shows the daily average together with the minimum–maximum price range, making it easy to see both the price level and the spread within the day.
Values are shown in EUR/MWh and use UTC for consistent comparison. Data is loaded when the page opens, while zone names and links remain available in the static page.

How to Read the Electricity Price Comparison
The four summary cards show the EU average, the zones with the lowest and highest daily averages, and the zone with the widest minimum–maximum range.
- each horizontal range represents the minimum and maximum price available today for one zone;
- the dot inside the range represents that zone’s daily average;
- green ranges and dots are at or below the EU average, while coral ones are above it; stronger color indicates a larger absolute deviation from the EU average;
- the vertical dashed line is the EU average and is shown only as a reference, not as a separate zone;
- the sorting menu can order zones by lowest average, highest average, widest range, or alphabetically.

The table presents the same daily snapshot in a more precise format:
- Zone — the full localized country or bidding-zone name with a link to its detailed price page;
- Average — the daily average price in EUR/MWh;
- Min–max — the lowest and highest prices available for the day;
- Δ vs EU — the absolute and percentage difference from the EU average.

How Electricity Prices Are Calculated
The daily average, minimum, and maximum are calculated from available day-ahead wholesale price intervals for each bidding zone.
- Prices are grouped by zone (for example, LV, DE, DK2, or NO1);
- The EU average is based on the available daily zone averages and is used as a comparison reference;
- All values are shown in EUR/MWh;
- The comparison uses UTC;
- Taxes, VAT, grid fees, supplier margins, and other consumer charges are not included.
The date displayed above the chart identifies the market day represented by the current data.
