Italy: electricity price for average household 2022

The electricity price for average household consumers in Italy peaked at 66 euro cents per kilowatt hour in Q4 of 2022. This figure represented a 60 percent increase compared to the previous quarter and set an all-time electricity price record for Italy. Since 2021, electricity prices for domestic consumption kept increasing in Italy, driven by the growth of coal and natural gas prices. The main factors contributing to the European electricity price spike were the economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the interruption of Russian imports following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2021.
