MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Ensuring transparent and publicly accessible data on grid costs – E-000476/2025

Question for written answer  E-000476/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Sigrid Friis (Renew)

While Eurostat provides aggregated data on energy prices, there is no publicly accessible, detailed information on network costs, such as per kilowatt-hour (kWh) pricing, making it difficult for consumers and policymakers to evaluate fairness or efficiency across regions and over time. Directive (EU) 2019/944 only requires a breakdown of energy prices, network costs and taxes on consumer bills ‘where possible’, leading to inconsistent implementation across Member States.

How will the Commission address these gaps by:

• 1.Ensuring public access to granular network cost data for greater accountability and equity?
• 2.Mandating a standardised, detailed cost breakdown on consumer electricity bills that include both energy and network costs, thus fostering trust and empowering consumers?
