How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the estimated household electricity price in US dollars per kilowatt-hour. It refers to the retail price paid by private households, not industrial, commercial or wholesale power prices.

Energy cost, grid charges, distribution, transmission, public levies, surcharges, taxes and recurring fixed components of the ordinary electricity bill are included. Where tariff blocks exist, Nomadino uses the effective price for normal household consumption, not the cheapest social tariff or an extreme high-consumption tariff.

The main anchor is the current GlobalPetrolPrices household electricity-price table in USD per kWh. For European countries, Eurostat household electricity prices and their consumption-band methodology are used as a plausibility frame. IEA energy-price data, national regulators and statistical sources, and World Bank exchange rates are used as additional checks.

For countries and territories without direct, current and comparable public coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values. These are checked against the administering state, regional island and neighbouring-country prices, import-dependent power generation, known tariff structures and existing Nomadino cost data.

Power outages, grid reliability, connection fees, industrial prices, solar subsidies, feed-in tariffs, batteries, gas and heating costs, and the carbon profile of the power mix are not included. Those topics remain separate or adjacent indicators.

The rating uses an anchored cost scale based on the visible household electricity price. Up to about 5 cents per kWh, electricity is treated as very cheap and remains clearly in the upper rating range. Between 10 and 25 cents per kWh, the scale differentiates more strongly because electricity costs become noticeable in everyday life. Above 30 to 40 cents per kWh, the rating drops sharply because electricity then becomes a relevant housing-utility cost block.
