Why doesn’t the price of electricity increase?
Consumers can save on their electricity bill by following a series of tips and recommendations and, above all, taking advantage of the cheapest hours of the day at home. Of course, the drop in the price of electricity is not only in the hands of the user of the regulated rate, but is also conditioned by other external aspects. Thus, the drought that is being experienced in the middle of spring in some parts of the peninsula is contributing to the existence of a greater generation of electrical energy based on the sun. As the hours of sunshine increase and in the absence of heavy cloud cover, the photovoltaic solar plants in Spain are at full capacity, much higher than usual, and this means that electricity prices do not rise even more.
Has the consumption of electricity in the home decreased?
The answer is clear, yes. Families have reduced their electricity consumption in recent months, something that has intensified this April with less rain and less cold. In addition, due to the high temperatures, gas consumption decreases, which is less necessary for combined cycles, which means that it is not necessary to activate what is known as the Iberian cap or exception. This helps to moderate the price of electricity and, therefore, the consumer can save on their bill at the end of the month.
