Welcome To Net Zero Britain
UK households pay more for electricity than all of the EU
Closing the gap between electricity and relatively low gas prices should be a
priority for the next government, experts said

For the first time, UK households are facing higher electricity prices than
those anywhere in the EU.
British homes paid 36p per unit of electricity over the second half of last
year, according to recent government figures comparing domestic energy prices
internationally. By contrast, UK households pay the ninth lowest gas prices
compared to 27 EU countries, at just 8p a unit.
Experts warned the high price of electricity relative to gas is -deterring
consumers from switching to cleaner technologies, such as ditching gas boilers
for heat pumps.
The Dutch and Belgians were paying more for electricity than Britons in the
first half of 2023, but for the rest of the year, the UK's 36p a unit cost was
the highest, followed by Germany
