Energy Pricing
10/14/2010Energy pricing takes several types of spending into account: production costs, transport costs, distribution costs, taxes, and grants. All of this depends on the extent to which states intervene in energy pricing.
On a global scale, energy prices depend partly on the price of crude oil. This is the most widely used resource and has a significant impact on setting the prices of other sources of energy. Its price gives a good idea of overall energy supply and demand.For its part, the price per barrel of crude depends on current oil requirements and on the capacity of oil-producing countries to meet this demand at the right time and in sufficient quantities. It is sensitive to current economic and geopolitical affairs.
Fuel Pricing
At the pumps, the price of gasoline and diesel changes according to supply and demand, the price of crude oil, and the economic and geopolitical context at the time. It includes taxes that are set by each state.
