According to provisional data from the Iberian Energy Market Operator (OMIE), in the auction, the average price of electricity in the wholesale market – the so-called ‘pool’ – stands at €141.51/MWh tomorrow.
Friday’s maximum price will be registered between midnight and 1am, at €161/MWh, while the minimum for the day, of €119/MWh, will occur between 7pm and 8pm.
To this price of the ‘pool’ is added the compensation of €134.88/MWh to the gas companies that has to be paid by the consumers who are beneficiaries of the measure, the consumers of the regulated rate (PVPC), or those who, despite being in the free market, have an indexed rate.
