European Energy CPI and Electricity Prices - European energy CPI reached a historical peak of 192.5 in October 2022, driven by extreme weather and geopolitical conflicts, despite a subsequent 82% drop in natural gas prices and a 40% drop in oil prices by June 2025 [5][11] - As of June 2025, the average household electricity price in Germany was 40.0 euro cents per kWh, translating to an annual cost of approximately 11,573 RMB for a typical family [11][12] 2. Factors Supporting High Electricity Prices - The high electricity prices are supported by five main factors: 1. The transition away from Russian energy sources has led to a doubling of procurement costs for LNG from the US [11][23] 2. Aging electricity infrastructure has resulted in rising grid costs, with distribution network costs increasing by 31.6% since 2019 [11][28] 3. Rising taxes and fees, which accounted for 38.4% of electricity costs in 2024, disproportionately burdening consumers [11][36] 4. Rigid renewable energy subsidies that add to end-user costs, despite a reduction in traditional subsidies [11][42] 5. High carbon emission costs, with EU-ETS prices reaching nearly 90 euros, contributing significantly to electricity costs [11][44] 3. Renewable Energy and Market Mechanisms - Despite an increase in renewable energy generation, with wind and solar accounting for 26.9% of total generation by June 2025, the benefits have not translated into lower consumer prices due to market structure issues [11][49] - The disconnect between wholesale and retail electricity markets has resulted in persistent high prices, as wholesale prices are often set by higher-cost fossil fuel generation [11][52] 4. Impact on Commodities and Manufacturing - High electricity prices have severely impacted energy-intensive industries, leading to reduced production in sectors like aluminum and fertilizers, while also diminishing the competitiveness of European manufacturing against countries like China [5][6]
