In the second half of 2025, household gas prices in the EU continued to show the seasonal fluctuation between semesters that was visible before the 2022 crisis, with this pattern distorted during 2022 and 2023.

Average prices, including taxes, rose to €12.28 per 100 kWh, up from €11.43 in the first half of the year. Prices were comparable with those in the second half of 2024, and taxes have also remained stable over the last 3 semesters.

This information comes from data on gas prices published recently by Eurostat. The article presents a handful of findings from the more detailed Statistics explained article on natural gas prices.
