New tariff
In May, the average bill for a family with a PVPC tariff was 54 euros (48.85 euros in April). This increase occurs after April with completely unknown prices on the wholesale market (13.3 EUR/MWh), with moments of even negative prices. Despite this increase, VAT continues to remain at its usual level of 21%, as the VAT reduction to 10% only applies if the wholesale price exceeds €45/MWh.
It is worth remembering that in April last year negative prices were recorded for the first time in the history of the electricity market, and in March we already saw one of the lowest average pool prices in history for the month: 20 EUR/MWh, which is half the average price recorded in February, and 77.5% less than in March 2023, when it was 89.6 euros/MWh.
VAT 21%
The last Council of Ministers last year approved an increase in the VAT rate on electricity from 5% to 10% and maintaining this rate until the end of 2024, subject to maintaining MWh prices on the wholesale market. high, above these 45 euros/MWh.
In particular, VAT will become 21% if the wholesale price is below this level in the calendar month preceding the last day of invoice. That is, all bills that include consumption for at least one day in March will have VAT of 21%. Only households receiving the social bonus are exempt from this increase, as their VAT will remain at 10% through 2024.
Best rate
Now, with generation prices almost at zero, 8.5 million PVPC tariff users (3% of the total) benefit from almost ridiculous electricity costs of just four or five eurocents per kWh by adding fixed costs to the price. 0 euro generation. However, those who operate in the free market pay at least ten cents per kW consumed.
Calculation method
In addition, the “pool” does not fully reflect the final amount of the electricity price for the consumer subject to a regulated tariff, since with the introduction in 2024 a new method of calculating PVPC was adopted, which includes a basket of prices in the medium and long term to avoid large fluctuations without losing short-term price targets that promote savings and efficient consumption.
Thus, the share of the pool price link will be gradually reduced to include links to futures markets, so that they will be 25% in 2024, 40% in 2025 and 55% starting in 2026.
