Spain has the lowest energy prices in Europe.

Spain does not have the lowest energy prices in Europe. For household electricity, Hungary and several other Eastern European countries have lower prices. For wholesale electricity, the Nord Pool region (Nordic/Baltic countries) and France have lower prices than Spain.

Omissions

• The MEP did not specify which energy price metric is being referenced (household electricity, industrial electricity, wholesale electricity, natural gas, or a composite index). The ranking varies significantly by metric.
• Spain does have genuinely low energy prices compared to the EU average — wholesale electricity prices were approximately 32% below the EU average in H1 2025 — but not the lowest.
• The original spoken text adds 'because they don't use gas,' which is factually incorrect: Spain is a major consumer and importer of natural gas, using it extensively for electricity generation and heating.
