Objective: lower the price of electricity
Spain and Portugal recently agreed on a joint proposal before the European Commission to limit the price of gas in the wholesale market, and thus achieve a reduction in the price of electricity. Both Executives set the maximum price at which combined cycle plants (those that use gas to produce electricity) will be able to offer their energy in their market at 30 euros/MWh, that of the ‘Iberian exception’ allowed by the last European Council.
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).
