It is worth remembering that 2024 is full of new developments in the field of electricity tariffs. On January 1, a new formula for calculating the regulated electricity tariff, the so-called “Voluntary Price for Small Consumers” (PVPC), came into force, which covers about 8.5 million consumers, that is, about a third of all domestic consumers.
Unlike the calculation methodology used so far, introduced by the Electrical Sector Law No. 24/2013 and regulated by Royal Decree No. 216/2014, where the final price was fully indexed to the daily wholesale market, the new formula will partially include long-term forward price signals. To this end, since July 1 last year, reference marketers have been pre-purchasing part of the energy that the PVPC tariff will consume in 2024.
