The price of electricity in different ranges has a noticeable impact on the pockets of consumers. More and more households are checking out different prices to try and spend as little as possible on their energy bills. To do this, check every day how prices per kilowatt-hour change depending on time. Finding off-peak hours is key to saving at the end of the month.

How is the price of electricity determined in Spain?

In 2024, Spain will launch a new methodology for calculating the regulated electricity tariff. As of January 1, there were other changes to the bill that could make it even more difficult for a user to choose the right tariff to get them through the harsh winters, as well as in the face of the increasingly hot summer months. With the new year, the Iberian exception ends, the limit on transferring benefits that fell from the sky into receipt ends, and the updated regulated rate arrives.

The formula by which this price is calculated changes starting in January. It will no longer be as volatile as it has been so far, because 25% of this value will come from electricity contracted in the future, regardless of what the market shows every hour. The weight of futures markets will gradually increase. In 2024 it will be 25%, in 2025 40%, and from 2026 the majority: future links will make up 55% of the energy cost, and the pool will make up the remaining 45%. is updated every month and published by the system operator to ensure that PVPC supply companies, marketers of reference (COR) of large groups, include these futures.

Companies had to start buying energy last July in order to sell it now. That is, in practice, the regulated rate will be closer to free market rates, always with the requirement that companies’ margins be lower. For now, the change will not be too noticeable, given the increase of a few euros per month; This will result in PVC prices becoming more stable, but in exchange for them being slightly higher.
