He final cost This is what you will need to take into account in order to try to save money and choose the cheapest time intervals for using the appliances that consume the most, such as the washing machine, air conditioner or dishwasher.

From January 1, 2024 new PVPC calculation structure to index it to forward market prices and reduce its volatility, which affects the calculation of energy resources of the regulated tariff.

From my side, production cost It consists of an hourly price derived from the daily energy market data published by the Iberian Electricity Market Operator (OMIE). In addition, these prices also take into account the cost of the set-up services managed by Red Eléctrica as system operator, in addition to other concepts included in the current regulations.

Three Appliances That Are Driving Up Your Energy Bills

When we buy new equipmentit is important to consider three fundamental aspects: their energy efficiency, using them correctly (some even have energy-saving modes) and ensuring that their consumption adapts to our electricity bill. However, there are devices that tend to consume more electricity than others.

The dishwasher, although not present in all homes, is one of those appliances that consume the most electricity. According to OCU calculations, it can consume up to 246 kWh per year, which is about 7% of the total energy consumption and results in an additional 74 euros to the annual electricity bill. The same is true for the washing machine, which can consume up to 255 kWh per year, or about 77 euros more to the annual bill. Finally, logically, the refrigerator, whose average consumption is 662 kWh per year, which means an increase in the annual rate of about 199 euros in the case of PVPC.
