Average gas prices paid by non-household consumers in the EU fell to €6.05 per 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in the second half of 2025, down from €6.60 in the first half of the year.

The figures cover non-household users — such as businesses and public organisations — with annual gas consumption between 10,000 and 100,000 gigajoules (GJ), Eurostat said in a release on Friday.

Prices varied widely across the bloc, with the highest levels recorded in Sweden (€10.65 per 100 kWh), Finland (€8.63) and Germany (€7.13).

The lowest prices were in Bulgaria (€4.14), Greece (€4.24), and Portugal and Belgium (both €4.81).
