The chart presents residential electricity prices for household consumers in the United States and in selected European countries. The European figures are drawn from Eurostat’s bi-annual series on electricity prices for household consumers, which has been collected since 2007.

The comparison places U.S. residential prices alongside those in Europe, highlighting the gap in what households on either side of the Atlantic pay for electricity.

These differences reflect the varying structures of electricity markets, generation mixes, taxes, and policy choices that shape the final price paid by residential consumers in each region.
