Household natural gas prices

Natural gas prices are one of the key cost-side drivers of energy poverty, particularly for households heavily dependent on gas for space heating and water heating. Higher nominal prices in one country do not necessarily indicate greater vulnerability if strong social protection measures, such as subsidised tariffs or bill support schemes are in place. For meaningful cross-country comparisons, analysis in Purchasing Power Standards (PPS) is recommended. Cross-analysis with fuel mix data and income indicators provides a more complete picture of energy poverty exposure.
