European Union government spending short-term consumer energy affordability measures

Notes

The spending is assessed from the government’s perspective, as direct budget allocation, foregone tax revenues, etc. Quantitative estimates from energy crisis response policies are based on policies officially enacted by governments from September 2021, and do not capture other forms of sub-market price subsidies that may be channelled through utilities and other energy-related state-owned enterprises without financial compensation by the government. Government measures and corresponding budgets officially enacted after 14 November 2022 are not included in this Government Energy Spending Tracker update- such as provisions of the Autumn Statement, Energy Prices Act 2022 and Energy Bill Relief Scheme which were recently adopted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Similarly, energy-related provisions of the EUR 200 billion German Energy Relief Plan will be incorporated when fully detailed.
