The Minister of Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism, Lex Delles, has responded to a parliamentary enquiry about rising gas and electricity prices in Luxembourg.
According to the latest data:
- In 2025, gas tariffs in Luxembourg have increased and the average customer will pay around €300 more per year than in 2024.
- However, compared to 2022-2023, when gas prices peaked, bills will be lower by around €100 in 2025. Overall, the increase will be 4-5 per cent compared to last year.
According to the latest ENTSOG (European Network of Transmission System Operators) report, Europe's gas supply in winter 2024/25 remains stable. This was possible because the EU's underground gas storage facilities were 90% full by 1 November 2024.
Luxembourg receives gas mainly through Belgium, which in turn imports it via the large LNG terminal in Zeebrugge. As a result, the country remains well connected to the European gas grid and has a variety of import sources.
For households using heat pumps instead of gas, the savings could be between €400 and €700 per year. However, rising electricity prices in 2025 mean that:
- Owners of energy efficient homes (with a consumption of around 7,000 kWh per year) will pay €400 more than in 2024.
- Passport, valid for at least 3 months after the expiration date of the requested visa. With at least two blank pages.
The Ministry recommends improving the insulation of houses before installing heat pumps, as pumps are most efficient in modern or renovated buildings.
