Electricity prices by country

Household electricity prices from official sources. Most are averages with taxes included; where a country only publishes a regulated tariff, its page says exactly what the figure covers. We update them when each source publishes new data: monthly for the US, every six months for Europe, every quarter for the UK and whenever a regulator changes its tariff.
