On Tuesday, October 25, the average price of electricity in Spain will fall again, this time by 2.84 per cent.

The average price of electricity for regulated rate customers linked to the wholesale market in Spain will drop by 2.84 per cent on Tuesday, October 25, compared to today Monday 24. Specifically, it will stand at €106.66/MWh.

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’ – will stand at €106.66/MWh tomorrow. 

This will be the sixth consecutive day that the so-called Iberian exception, in force since mid-June, remains without application. That is because the reference price for gas plants stands at €35.24/MWh, below the ceiling of €40/MWh.

Tuesday’s maximum price will be recorded between 8pm and 9pm, at €153.32/MWh, while the minimum for the day, of €78.60/MWh, will be between 4am and 6am.

To this price of the ‘pool’ must be added the compensation to the gas companies that has to be paid by the consumers who benefit from the measure, the consumers of the regulated rate (PVPC), or those who, despite being in the free market, have an indexed rate. As with the last days, this Tuesday the rate will be zero again.
