'Energiepreis' (energy price) consists of 'Energie' (energy) and 'Preis' (price). The component 'Preis' indicates that the word refers to an amount of money; 'Energie' identifies what you are paying for.

A higher energy price can make heating significantly more expensive in winter.
Common combinations include 'steigende Energiepreise' (rising energy prices), 'sinkende Energiepreise' (falling energy prices), and 'hohe Energiepreise' (high energy prices). The word often appears in the plural, especially in the news, because it refers to several types of energy or different rates.
Viele Unternehmen leiden unter den hohen Energiepreisen.
Many businesses are struggling with high energy prices.
When specifying an exact energy price, you usually also state the unit using 'pro' (per). For electricity and natural gas, 'pro Kilowattstunde' (per kilowatt-hour) is common; for heating oil and gasoline, 'pro Liter' (per liter) is used.
Bei diesem Stromtarif liegt der Energiepreis bei 30 Cent pro Kilowattstunde.
