Average price of energy resources
Average price of energy resources is calculated by dividing costs of energy resources with volume of energy resources purchased. Average prices are given excluding value added tax (VAT).
Average prices of energy resources for final consumers are calculated in compliance with the methodology of the Energy Balance.
Data collection
Survey method and data source
Data on average prices of energy resources are acquired with the help of calculations from annual statistical report form 2-EK "Report on purchase and use of energy resources".
Target population

Every year approximately 6 thousand respondents are surveyed. Data on enterprises and organisations employing less than 80 persons are acquired with the help of random sampling and afterwards obtained results are extrapolated.
