The price of electricity in Spain is the fourth highest in Europe, according to Eurostat (data relating to 2015).
If we want to reduce power bills we should bear in mind how the electricity companies calculate prices, depending on the characteristics of the meter installed in the dwelling, the type of contract and the tariff chosen by the user.
And considering that the percentage of the bill represented by the fixed power charge is that which has most increased in price in recent years, one of the measures that would result in paying less would be precisely to reduce the power charge to bring it in line with consumers’ real needs.
Finally, adopting responsible consumption habits would also lead to a lower energy bill.
