Prices are also published considering three levels of taxation: all taxes included, without VAT and without taxes.  The study includes seven standard industrial consumers, coded I1 to I5: Standard consumer Annual consumption in Gigajoules Modulation I1 418.6  GJ   (i.e. 0.1163 GWh) no load factor I2 4 186    GJ   (i.e.  1.163  GWh) 200 days I3-1 41 860    GJ   (i.e. 11.63   GWh) 200 days 1 600 hours I3-2 41 860    GJ   (i.e. 11.63   GWh) 250 days 4 000 hours I4-1 418 600    GJ   (i.e. 116.3   GWh) 250 days 4 000 hours I4-2 418 600    GJ   (i.e. 116.3   GWh) 330 days 8 000 hours I5 4 186 000    GJ   (i.e. 1163    GWh) 330 days 8 000 hours  Variations in gas prices (all taxes included) for industry expressed in euro or national currency (for non euro-zone countries) from 1 January 20042 to 1 January 2005 reveal a general upward trend in most of the countries studied.  For standard consumer group I3-1* and for prices with all taxes included the countries with the largest increase for the last twelve months are Denmark (30%), Slovenia (24%) and the United Kingdom (23%), while those with the most significant decrease are Slovakia (10%), Lithuania and Estonia (6%). For the same consumer group the EU-15 and EU-25 average prices weighted by consumption increased by 14% during the last twelve months, as shown in the following table:  in € / GJWith taxes VAT excluded Taxes excludedEU-252004 6.67 5.68 5.242005 7.63 6.51 6.01EU-152002 7.11 6.16 5.752003 6.97 6.03 5.562004 6.82 5.83 5.332005 7.81 6.67 6.12Prices as of 1 January each year * The standard consumer I3-1 corresponds to a medium enterprise      1 Average value for January 2005 for non euro-zone countries.

This publication includes all gas prices for industry collected by EUROSTAT 
corresponding to 1 January 2005 expressed in national currencies, 
purchasing power standards (PPS) and euros1. Prices are also published 
considering three levels of taxation: all taxes included, without VAT and 
without taxes.  
The study includes seven standard industrial consumers, coded I1 to I5: 
Standard 
consumer Annual consumption in Gigajoules Modulation 
I1 418.6  GJ   (i.e. 0.1163 GWh) no load factor 
I2 4 186    GJ   (i.e.  1.163  GWh) 200 days 
I3-1 41 860    GJ   (i.e. 11.63   GWh) 200 days 1 600 hours

I4-1 418 600    GJ   (i.e. 116.3   GWh) 250 days 4 000 hours 
I4-2 418 600    GJ   (i.e. 116.3   GWh) 330 days 8 000 hours 
I5 4 186 000    GJ   (i.e. 1163    GWh) 330 days 8 000 hours 
 
Variations in gas prices (all taxes included) for industry expressed in euro or 
national currency (for non euro-zone countries) from 1 January 20042 to 1 
January 2005 reveal a general upward trend in most of the countries studied. 
 
For standard consumer group I3-1* and for prices with all taxes 
included the countries with the largest increase for the last twelve 
months are Denmark (30%), Slovenia (24%) and the United Kingdom 
(23%), while those with the most significant decrease are Slovakia 
(10%), Lithuania and Estonia (6%). 
For the same consumer group the EU-15 and EU-25 average prices 
weighted by consumption increased by 14% during the last twelve 
months, as shown in the following table:
