Euronews explores these differences in both electricity and gas bills. Energy bills are a major part of living costs. Energy prices vary widely across Europe. Bills include not just energy costs, but also taxes and distribution fees.<\/p>\n<p>The share of electricity and gas bills that goes to distribution, essentially what you pay to use the grid, also differs from country to country. So, how much of your energy bill goes to distribution companies in Europe? And which countries pay the most for distribution? Also known as network charges, this portion of the bill mostly includes both transmission and distribution costs.<\/p>\n<p>The Household Energy Price Index (HEPI), compiled by Energie-Control Austria, MEKH, and VaasaETT, provides a detailed breakdown of residential end-user electricity and gas prices. The breakdown includes four components: energy, distribution, energy taxes, and VAT. As of April 2024, the share of distribution in household electricity prices ranged from 11% in Nicosia to 65% in Budapest, closely followed by Amsterdam (60%). However, in Amsterdam, the distribution share would drop to 39% if the tax refund were not considered.<\/p>\n<p>The capital cities of Hungary and the Netherlands stand out as clear outliers, with more than half of the electricity bill going to distribution. The EU-27 average was 28%. Other high-share cities include Luxembourg City (46%), Podgorica (43%), and Bucharest (42%).<\/p>\n<p>Many Central and Eastern European cities such as Kyiv, Vilnius, Riga, Zagreb, Belgrade, and Warsaw have distribution shares well above the EU average. Western cities like Paris (35%) and Lisbon (34%) also fall into the higher group.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2025\/05\/15\/where-the-grid-hits-hardest-energy-distribution-costs-across-europe-compared\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2025\/05\/15\/where-the-grid-hits-hardest-energy-distribution-costs-across-europe-compared\">Euronews Business<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/where-the-grid-hits-hardest-energy-distribution-costs-across-europe-compared\/\">Where the grid hits hardest: Energy distribution costs across Europe compared<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[18797,274,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-140015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-energy-distribution-costs","tag-eu","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140015\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
