Energy Prices & Taxes - Quarterly Statistics

Energy Prices & Taxes provides OECD country statistics on energy prices and taxes for all energy sources and main consuming sectors. The data system responds to the need identified by International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy Ministers for improved information on national and international energy markets and attempts to meet the requirements of those involved in international energy issues.

Many of the data are taken from a quarterly reporting system of end-use energy prices which the Standing Group on Long Term Cooperation of the International Energy Agency initiated in early 1981. The remaining data have been taken from national and international publications. Every issue includes full notes on sources and methods and a description of price mechanisms in each country.

Each 500-page issue is divided into a summary and three sections:

• Recent Energy Price Developments and Summary Data
  • Prices in International Trade
    • Crude Oil Spot Prices
    • Oil Product Spot Prices
    • Crude Oil Import Costs
    • Coal Import Costs
