Electricity prices

Electricity prices, March 2021: The chart shows the price of electricity for households and businesses in over 100 countries. The prices are per kWh and include all items in the electricity bill such as the distribution and energy cost, various environmental and fuel cost charges and taxes. The world average price is 0.135 U.S. Dollar per kWh for household users and 0.124 U.S. Dollar per kWh for business users. The prices for households are calculated using the average annual household electricity consumption per year and for businesses, we use 1,000,000 kWh consumption per year. We do, however, calculate several data points at different levels of consumption for both households and businesses. The methodology of price collection is described on the about page.

The latest business and household electricity price data from September 2021 are available for download.
