The claim does not specify whether it refers to household or non-household (industrial) energy prices, nor which energy type (electricity, gas, or combined).
The most recent Eurostat data available before the session date (H2 2025, published in May 2026) shows Ireland as the highest for both household and non-household electricity, not Germany.
The claim refers to 'energy prices' broadly, but the available evidence covers electricity prices specifically; natural gas price rankings were not verified and could differ.
The MEP attributes high energy prices to 'green economic policy of recent years,' but the data shows multiple EU countries (Ireland, Cyprus, Denmark) also have very high energy prices under different policy frameworks, suggesting structural factors beyond Germany's energy transition.
