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.

Calculation method

It should be remembered that the “pool” does not quite represent the final amount of the electricity price for the consumer subject to the regulated tariff, since with the advent of 2024, a new method of calculating PVPC has been adopted, which includes a basket of medium and long-term prices to avoid large fluctuations, without losing the short-term benchmark prices 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.
