Chart of the Month Vol. 36 | "Cascading the Costs of Energy" | Powered by Deloitte

Explore the complex journey of energy costs from supply-side volatility to consumer affordability in the latest Chart of the Month from the Hellenic Association for Energy Economics (HAEE). This edition investigates the cascading costs of energy, showing how swings in commodity prices like TTF Natural Gas and EU ETS directly impact wholesale electricity prices.

We analyze how these supply-side costs are ultimately translated to the demand side, affecting both household and non-household consumers. The data highlights the significant retail price disparity and the resulting affordability issues, including the increasing share of consumers with arrears on utility bills, which is particularly acute in Greece.

Discover the key trends in wholesale and retail prices, the impact of subsidies, and policy imperatives to shield vulnerable consumers.
