How much does this procedure cost?
The cost of contracting electricity is not unique, it will depend on the rate you select and the offers of the company you decide to take to provide you with the service. It is important that you keep in mind the two modalities of this market in Spain. There are two, the regulated and the free.
Regulated market.
As its name indicates, the regulated market is controlled by the Spanish government through the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism. The cost of this market is called PVPC, which means “Voluntary Price to the Small Consumer”. It can only be contracted by people who have an electrical power equal to or less than 10 kW in their homes.
