Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
The UK has the highest industrial electricity prices in the world.
The finding
What remains unresolved
Official UK comparisons show the highest industrial price among 25 IEA members reporting 2024 data. This supports the serious price concern, but does not establish a worldwide ranking across every country, tariff and user band in 2026. The literal global superlative remains unresolved.

Quick answer
Is it true that the UK has the highest industrial electricity prices in the world?
We can't say yet. Official UK comparisons show the highest industrial price among 25 IEA members reporting 2024 data. This supports the serious price concern, but does not establish a worldwide ranking across every country, tariff and user band in 2026. A guest said it (matched by voice) on Joe Rogan Experience #2574 - Francis Foster & Konstantin Kisin, aired Oct 31, 2026, at 17:20. We couldn't settle it from the evidence we captured, so it stays an open question, not a false claim. The supporting source is gov.uk, linked below.
