Agreement with one goal: lower the price of electricity

Spain and Portugal will be able to limit the price of gas in the wholesale electricity market, although they will do so with a higher range than that initially proposed for the so-called ‘Iberian exception’, after the reluctance shown by the partners of the center and the east European, led by Germany; and after the pressure exerted by a good part of the electricity sector to knock down the proposal. In order to adjust the price of electricity, Brussels raises the limit to 50 euros/MWh for one year compared to the 30 proposed together with Portugal, with which part of the bills will be reduced by 40%.

Electricity price: when will we notice the drop in the bill?

The agreement will allow the price of electricity to be reduced considerably. Of course, which users does this reduction in the price of electricity affect? And, most importantly, when will the electricity bill begin to drop? Keys to the new energy agreement that seeks to avoid the high price of electricity.

How does the price of electricity work?

To specify the price of electricity, the Iberian Energy Market Operator organizes an auction every day. In it, producers and distributors sell and acquire electricity based on the supply and demand that is forecast for the following day hour by hour.

In fact, the price of electricity in the wholesale market must still be added to the cost of tolls and the other charges that are applied to the final bill. Electricity tolls are those that finance the distribution of electricity to all households, while the other charges section of the electricity bill includes concepts as disparate as the tariff deficit, the transport of electricity to islands or incentives for renewable energies. All this results in an electricity rate that will be more or less economical depending on the time slot and the contracted modality (regulated or free market).

Advice from the OCU before the rise of the light

The price of electricity continues to skyrocket and, for the moment, shows no signs of starting to fall after the central government backed down and ruled out limiting it to 180 euros per megawatt hour, as it intended to do before March 29. In this context, the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has demanded the temporary suspension of energy taxes and intervention in markets that set its price, and has explained how to save on the next electricity bill.

Applications to face the price of electricity

Optimizing the contracted power, acquiring efficient appliances and comparing rates (especially on the free market, the unregulated one) is key to facing the rise in the price of electricity and thus saving on the bill at the end of the month. For this, it is essential to adapt the start-up of electronic devices to the valley bands, that is, those in which the MWh. it is much cheaper. How? Both the Apple Store for iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.) and the Play Store for Android have a number of applications where you can check the average price of electricity and its cost by time slot in real time.
