Madrid, April 23, 2024.-

Key concepts in the electricity bill•  Contracted power: the amount of energy reserved for a home, measured in kilowatts (kW). It is crucial to choose this power appropriately to avoid unnecessary expenses on the bill.•  Energy consumed: amount of energy used during the billed period, measured in kilowatt hours (kWh). Understanding consumption allows us to identify patterns and habits to optimize it and, thus, improve energy savings.•  Power and energy terms: represent the prices associated with the contracted power and energy consumption respectively. Understanding them helps you be clear about exactly what you are paying for and how expenses can be better managed.Taxes and Additional Fees  You need to go beyond the basics to explore the additional taxes and fees that influence the total amount. These are the most common:•  VAT on electricity: As of March 1, 2024, VAT has returned to its usual tax rate of 21%. This measure is implemented because, during the month of February, the market price fell below €45/MWh.•  Special tax on electricity: Also known as electricity tax, it is a tax of 5.113% on the total amount of the term of consumption and power. •  Tax on electricity production: Its objective is to contribute to sustainability and mitigate the environmental impact of electricity production. Since its establishment, it has experienced changes, such as the temporary suspension decided by the Government in June 2021. 10 tips to save on your electricity bill There are many strategies that consumers can implement to optimize their electricity consumption:1.
