What a household pays

EUR per kWh, all taxes included

  • Kosovo0.088
  • Albania0.117
  • Bosnia & Herz.0.097
  • Montenegro0.100
  • North Macedonia0.116
  • Serbia0.119
EU-27 average 0.290

The headline number, and the one tariff debates in the region are usually argued with. Band 2 500–4 999 kWh a year, which is a typical household.

What it costs them

Purchasing Power Standard per kWh

  • Kosovon/a
  • Albania0.183
  • Bosnia & Herz.0.164
  • Montenegro0.178
  • North Macedonia0.229
  • Serbia0.194
EU-27 average 0.291

The same electricity, priced in what local income will actually buy. This is the affordability figure, and it tells a materially different story from the one beside it.

What business pays

EUR per kWh, excluding taxes

  • Kosovo0.073· 2024-S2
  • Albania0.132
  • Bosnia & Herz.0.112
  • Montenegro0.082
  • North Macedonia0.124
  • Serbia0.134
EU-27 average 0.151

Non-household, 500–1 999 MWh a year, taxes excluded — the basis on which industrial competitiveness and cost-reflectivity arguments are made.

Measured in euros, the EU average is about 2.7× Western Balkans household electricity. Measured in purchasing power, it is about 1.5×. Nearly the whole apparent advantage is an artefact of the exchange rate rather than a real one. This is the single most common way regional tariff arguments mislead: a price that is low in euros can still be high relative to what people earn, and any reform designed against the euro figure alone will misjudge both the affordability constraint and the political room available for it.

Source: Eurostat — electricity price statistics (nrg_pc_204, nrg_pc_205) · 2025-S2 · Eurostat open data. Kosovo has no purchasing-power value in Eurostat, because Eurostat holds no purchasing power parity factor for it — a gap in that dataset, shown as a gap and not a zero. Where a value comes from a different semester than the one above, it is stamped with its own. Between full data refreshes, FlowOps automated monitoring re-confirms this against Eurostat — most recently 1 Sept 2026.

Vendimi pas kësaj figure

A tariff that looks affordable in euros can be unaffordable in local purchasing power. Reform designed against the wrong one of those figures misjudges both the political room available and the efficiency investment households can actually carry.
