Electricity in Malta among cheapest in EU, Eurostat data shows
Household prices second lowest across bloc despite post-crisis highs
Malta’s electricity prices are among the lowest in Europe, Eurostat data released on Tuesday has revealed.
In the second half of 2025, average electricity prices for households in the European Union remained largely stable, with a slight increase to €28.96 from €28.79 per 100 kWh in the first half of the year. These price levels remain well above levels from before the 2022 energy crisis.
But there were sharp variations across the EU in household electricity prices. Malta registered the second lowest prices at €12.82 per 100kWh.
The lowest prices were observed in Hungary (€10.82), while electricity prices in Bulgaria (€13.55) were the third cheapest across the bloc.
Ireland reported the highest prices at €40.42 per 100 kWh, followed by Germany (€38.69) and Belgium (€34.99).
When electricity prices are measured in purchasing power standard, Malta had the lowest price at €14.09, followed by Hungary (€15.10) and Finland (€18.77)
Prices expressed in PPS were highest for households in Romania (€49.52 per 100 kWh), Czechia (€38.65) and Poland (€37.15).
Commenting on these statistics, incumbent Energy Minister Miriam Dalli said price stability “remains a priority”.
“At a time when many European countries are facing sharp increases and instability in energy prices, Malta has managed to keep electricity prices stable. This reflects our long-term vision for energy, which focuses on protecting consumers while continuing to invest in cleaner and more sustainable energy sources,” Dalli said.
Eurostat data also shows that, since the beginning of 2020, several European countries have experienced significant increases in electricity prices.
However, Dalli pointed out Malta has managed to avoid these price increases, “demonstrating the strength of the national energy framework and the emphasis placed on long-term planning.”
