According to Eurostat figures published on 4 November 2026, the average EU non-household electricity price in the first half of 2026 was €0.18/kWh for annual consumption of 500–2,000 MWh, down 2.0% versus the second half of 2025 and 5.4% versus the first half of 2025. Nineteen Member States recorded year-on-year declines; Greece fell 11.8%, behind Luxembourg (−23.8%) and Czechia (−11.9%). Highest prices were in Ireland (€0.27), Cyprus and Italy (€0.23); lowest in Finland (€0.09).

What it means: For Greek manufacturing, logistics and data/office firms in the 500–2,000 MWh band, the 11.8% year-on-year drop can ease 2026–2027 energy budgets without removing the need to renegotiate tariffs and manage price risk. Benchmark against the €0.18/kWh EU average and decide whether savings fund efficiency projects or process electrification. The price move is an operating-cost and export-competitiveness signal for Greek businesses; it is not a call on energy equities or derivatives. Also watch non-household gas releases when complete, since industrial profiles often move with power. In practice, teams should name an owner, update the risk register and agree success criteria within 30 days. Where suppliers or customers are affected, send a short note citing the primary source without overclaiming. Compliance, security and operations are linked; one change often needs contract, access-rights and continuity checks. Keep a review calendar so the news becomes concrete actions for the Greek business. Greek manufacturers and exporters should treat the Eurostat release as an input to budgeting and energy-procurement talks rather than a market call.
