What's in the file

One row per observation. Every dimension ships as BOTH a stable code (filter on it) and a readable label (show it):

product — electricity or gas
geo_code / geo_label — e.g. DE / Germany
period / year / semester / period_start — typed time axis (2024-S2 → 2024, 2, 2024-07-01)
nrg_cons_code / nrg_cons_label — consumption band
tax_code / tax_label — taxes-included / pre-tax / pre-VAT
currency_code / currency_label — EUR, PPS, or national
price — float, price per kWh (null where Eurostat has no value)
obs_flag — Eurostat estimate / provisional / definition flags

Why Parquet. Eurostat serves this as SDMX with every field as an opaque code (E7000, KWH2500-4999, I_TAX) and time as a string. This file is the same data, decoded, typed, and columnar — open it directly in pandas, polars, DuckDB or R with one line.

Why we built this

Eurostat's electricity (nrg_pc_204) and gas (nrg_pc_205) household price series are the canonical European source, but the dissemination API hands you SDMX with coded dimensions and no bundled dictionary — so every analysis starts with the same hour of decoding. We did that once, deterministically, and refresh it on Eurostat's own update cadence. The numbers are Eurostat's, unchanged; we only made them readable and typed.
