Changes to how your Electricity Bill is calculated.
IMPORTANT.
In case you didn’t know, new Electricity rates will take effect from 1 June 2021from all Suppliers. If you’re not careful you could be running up higher bills than you have previously.
The new rates are divided into three time slots – peak, flat and off-peak. So as consumers, we should choose carefully when to use our electrical appliances in order to keep our energy costs down.
What are the time slots?
Weekdays
P1. PEAK/hora punta (highest rate): 10am – 2pm; 6pm to 10pm
P2. FLAT/hora llana (medium rate): 8am – 10am; 2pm- 6pm and 10pm to midnight.
P3. OFF PEAK/hora valle (cheapest rate): midnight to 8am
NB. Weekends and national holidays are all off-peak.
Once the new rates come into force, you will most likely notice some variation of your electricity bill – for better OR worse!
he Andalusian Energy Agency recommends taking the time to both review your electricity contract and consider changing providers with better rates, but also to review how you use electricity in your home in order to make the best choices and reduce consumption as much as possible. This could really impact your electricity bill and how much you pay over a year.
