Abstract [en]

This project has been devoted to collection of long time series of national average district heating prices in Europe, since this information is neither collected by the International Energy Agency nor Eurostat.

In all, relatively long time series of district heating prices have been identified in 23 European countries, of which 20 countries are currently members of the European Union. Additional countries were Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. These annual average prices have been estimated according to three different methods. Data sources have primarily been various national sources as national statistical authorities. Secondarily, various international sources have been used, when national sources could not provide required information.

The outputs from this price collection project consist of long time series of national average district heating prices until 2013 and the corresponding annual revenues and heat sales. In all, 560 annual average national district heating prices have been estimated.

Five main conclusions have been identified concerning European district heating prices:

  1. Currently, very little aggregated information is available about district heating prices in various European countries. The purpose with this price collection has been to close this information gap.
  2. International energy price analysts have therefore excluded district heating prices from their analyses.
  3. Countries with high district heating prices during 2013 were Denmark, Slovak Republic, Germany, Norway, and Sweden.
  4. Countries with low district heating prices during 2013 were Iceland, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Hungary, and Poland.
  5. Countries with high proportions of district heating costs in the disposable incomes during 2013 were Slovak Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.

Market analyses and further conclusions based on these estimated time series of national district heating prices will be published in another publication. Hence, no explanations for different price levels in various countries have be provided in this report. © 2016 ENERGIFORSK

Abstract [sv]

Detta projekt har bestått av en insamling av långa tidserier av nationella fjärrvärmepriser i Europa, då dessa inte samlas in av vare sig International Energy Agency eller Eurostat.

Totalt har långa tidsserier av fjärrvärmepriser identifierats för 23 europeiska länder, varav 20 av dessa är med i EU. Övriga länder som ingår i studien är Island, Norge och Schweiz. Dessa årliga fjärrvärmepriser har skattats enligt tre olika metoder. Datakällor har primärt varit olika nationella källor som de nationella statistikmyndigheterna. Sekundärt har internationella datakällor använts då nationella källor inte har haft den efterfrågade informationen.

Resultaten från studien består av långa tidsserier av nationella medelvärden av årliga fjärrvärmepriser t o m 2013 samt samhörande nationella intäkter och värmeleverenser. Totalt har 560 årliga medelvärden av nationella fjärrvärmepriser skattats.

Fem slutsatser kan dras från detta prisinsamlingsprojekt avseende europeiska fjärrvärmepriser:

  1. För närvarande finns ingen reguljär insamling av fjärrvärmepriser från olika länder i Europa. Syftet med detta projekt har varit att eliminera denna informationsbrist.

  2. Internationella energiprisanalytiker har därför inte inkluderat fjärrvärmepriser i deras analyser.

  3. Länder med höga fjärrvärmepriser under 2013 var Danmark, Slovakien, Tyskland, Norge och Sverige.

  4. Länder med låga fjärrvärmepriser under 2013 var Island, Bulgarien, Schweiz, Ungern och Polen.

  5. Länder med höga andelar av fjärrvärmekostnader i befolkningens disponibla inkomster under 2013 var Slovakien, Litauen, Lettland och Estland.

Marknadsanalyser och ytterligare slutsatser baserade på de skattade tidsserierna av nationella fjärrvärmepriser kommer att publiceras i en annan publikation. Därför lämnas inga förklaringar i denna rapport om varför nivåerna på fjärrvärmepriserna varierar från land till land. © 2016 ENERGIFORSK
