</a>Electricity price developments in Europe (HEPI)

E-Control and VaasaETT compute the Household Energy Price Index for Europe (HEPI) on the basis of the electricity and gas prices of the incumbent supplier and its main competitor in each of the EU-15 capital cities. This is a weighted index of consumer prices that captures overall price trends in Europe.

The HEPI is only the independent European electricity and gas price index that compares prices across the EU-15. The information is collected directly from suppliers and regulators in each country, using a precise, comparative definition and methodology.

The index is calculated and published every month. The prices in the EU-15 capital cities are also ranked in a table, and there is an analysis of recent trends.

E-Control and VaasaETT will continue to publish the HEPI on a monthly basis.
