102.35€ Janey Mack that's allot. Is this for a full month?  

I guess AC really sucks it up. As I said we regularly pay around 35€ per month. I was just 😲 when I saw the bill. I look at the Endesa site and set what's on offer.

To say their up but the Iceland? In Vera next to the China Bazar?

Good day to everyone,

I have a question regarding electricity suppliers and hope someone can help.

We have just bought an apartment in the Vera Playa area and have received our first electric bill for 82.52€ which came as of shock as we have, so far, only been there on weekends from Thursday nights to Sunday mornings.  Now granted we have been running the AC all night 9PM to 7:30 AM on the nights we are there so I expected a big bill but not that high.

When I went through the bill, I saw this charge –

Coste tope del gas RDL 10/2022 185.4 kWh - Precio: 0.163293 30,27 €

I quired the charge with GANA ENERGÍA and was directed to the below site. Which explains it very well.

https://ganaenergia.com/blog/tope-gas-factura-luz/

‘’To try to reduce the impact of the war on the price of electricity, the Government proposed to Europe the creation of the "Iberian exception" that would allow Spain to establish a mechanism to limit the price of natural gas used to generate electricity, and thus reduce the price of electricity in the wholesale market.

RDL 10/2022 made it possible to limit this price and regulated the adjustment of the gas cap on the electricity bill. This new cost of a variable nature seeks to compensate gas and coal plants for the difference between the price they sell gas to generate electricity and its real cost.’’

If I am reading it correctly this charge is paid by all electricity users. What I do not understand is that we also have a cave house on the Altiplano of Granada and use Iberdrola for our electricity supply and have not been charged this, YET. Our bills up here average 35€ per month.

My questions are;

Is everybody paying this?

Do you use a different, cheaper, supplier?

Would it be worth installing solar panels just to use AC?

I’m on Iberdrola and no, I don’t get charged that.  My last bill was 82€ as well, BUT that’s two people living full time, running aircon, fans, washing machine etc etc.

I am led to believe that some suppliers are showing the adjustment as a separate item and others are simply adjusting the price per kw/h. I’m with chc and they are showing it separately.

CHC are definitely more expensive as well. My neighbor is with CHC, single person - for same period we paid 82€, she paid 256€ with CHC.

I believe Iberdrola is the main supplier and all others purchase from Iberdrola and therefore put their own cut on top when they retail it.
