On Monday, March 20, the average price of electricity in Spain increases by 26.8 per cent.

The average price of electricity for regulated rate customers linked to the wholesale market in Spain will increase by 26.8 per cent on Monday, March 20, compared to today, Sunday 19. Specifically, it will stand at €121.56/MWh.

According to the operator of the Iberian Energy Market (OMIE), in the auction, the cost of energy in the wholesale market – the so-called ‘pool’ – will stand at €121.56/MWh tomorrow.

Monday’s cheapest time will be between the hours of 2pm and 3pm, at €97.25/MWh, while the most expensive will be between 7pm and 8pm, at €165.47/MWh.

Compensation for gas companies of €0/MWh is added to this pool price for the 21st consecutive day. It must be paid by
consumers who are beneficiaries of the measure, consumers of the regulated tariff (PVPC), or those who, despite being on the free market, have an indexed rate.

The average accumulated monthly price of electricity until March 20 stands at €100.79/MWh. That is about €32 less than the €132.22/MWh of the same period in February.
