Energy Prices

The Energy Prices data service is composed of a main database and several datasets.

The Energy Prices database provides end-user prices by sector (industry, household, transport, commercial, electricity generation) and 20 fuels and energy carriers, for 150 countries, with weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly data. OECD countries data also contain details on the end-use prices taxation breakdown whenever available or applicable.

The regular frequency of update is the following:

• yearly for full database (by April/May);

• quarterly (March/June/September/December) for OECD countries.

• monthly for (but not limited to) transport data in selected countries.

Please refer to the availability files to check what combination of products/sectors/time/countries are included in each database.

As of May 2026, the bulk download data TXT files are being replaced by CSV files following codes/naming convention used in the dotstat platform for the prices table. Other tables will follow in June 2026.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Important licence information

Single user, multi-user or Enterprise?

Limited user licences (1 user, 5 users and 10 users) are appropriate as long as only the corresponding number of users can access or view the data. 

If more than 10 users need to access or view the data, you should purchase an Enterprise licence. If these users are in different locations or part of a subsidiary or affiliate, you should purchase a Global Enterprise licence.

If you intend to put the data in a shared application, platform or system, you should purchase an Enterprise licence. A Global Enterprise licence is needed if users viewing or accessing the data/derived data are in different locations or part of a subsidiary or an affiliate.
