I. INTRODUCTION

This publication is a complete updating of the study on 'Electricity prices
1978-1984' published by Eurostat in 1984.

It gives the prices obtaining in 1985 as well as a historical summary going back
to 1980.

The text describes all recent modifications to tariffs, taxation, supply and selling
conditions which can influence price levels.

The study has been extended to cover two additional standard consumers; one for
domestic usages (7 500 kWh per year), in order to fill a gap in a category which is
gaining in importance, the other for industrial usages (24 000 000 kWh per year),
in order to provide better coverage of the very large consumers.

The trend analyses and the indices have been rebased on the year 1980 which has
been selected as the new reference period.

In order to begin to integrate statistics for Spain and Portugal into the Community
scheme, the most recent prices available for these countries are presented in the
Community comparison and conclusions.

Otherwise, the definitions and methods are the same as in previous studies on the
subject so that it is possible to follow electricity price formation and development
over a very long time series. In addition, the definitions are harmonized with
those of the International Union of Producers and Distributors of Electrical
Energy (Unipede).

This publication is available in four languages: English, French, German and
Italian.

The basic survey for the study was carried out by the Statistical Office of the
European Communities with the assistance of the national electricity companies
and professional associations to whom we express our sincere thanks.
