EU households just saw their electricity bills get heavier on the tax side. The tax and levy portion jumped from 24.7% in late 2024 to 27.6% in early 2025. That's a noticeable shift in how the bill breaks down.

Interesting part? The average price itself barely moved—still hovering around €28.72 per 100 kWh. So you're paying roughly the same total, but a bigger chunk is now going to government coffers instead of energy suppliers. Makes you wonder how this plays into broader energy policy shifts across the bloc.
