Monthly data
Not all energy carriers are covered (e.g. no specific monthly
RENEWABLES questionnaire)
Only SUPPLY side → Not directly comparable with annual data
Monthly data are meant to QUICKLY provide energy related
tendencies, long before annual data can be made available.

Energy Prices
 Natural gas & electricity prices
 Voluntary for households; legally binding for industrial end-users
(under Directive 2008/92/EC)
 On 3 price levels, depending on taxes
 Ongoing work for the approval of a new European Regulation on
natural gas & electricity prices, which will provide more detailed
breakdown of taxes and network costs to understand its drivers
and to move the household sector under a legal framework
 Foreseen to enter into force before the end of 2016
