The monthly publication combines data on energy price trends from various price statistics of the Federal Statistical Office and of the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat). In a first part, texts give brief explanations especially on the volume and use as well as on pricing mechanisms for several energy types (hard coal, lignite, mineral oil, natural gas, petrol, diesel fuel, light heating oil, liquefied gas, electricity and remote heat).
The current publication is the first one presenting results of the statistics of producer prices, import and export prices referring to base year 2015.
As part of the Federal Statistical Office digital agenda, this publication will be discontinued with the current publication of the results for the reporting month December 2022. It will be replaced by a Statistical Report, which will contain the results previously published in this publication.
In addition to layout tables, this publication will also contain machine-readable data sets. It will be published for the first time with the results of the reporting month January 2023 on 28.02.2023.
