On 1 June, the new regulatory framework that modifies electricity tariffs came into force.

As a Curenergía customer, you now have 3 time slots for energy consumption: peak, flat rate and off-peak.

Main changes

One of the main changes introduced by the new regulation is that all customers with Voluntary Price for Small Customer, (PVPC) are grouped under the same toll tariff called 2.0TD regardless of whether or not they have time period differentiation.
There are also new time periods for energy and power.

New 2.0TD tariff hourly distribution

The 2.0TD time periods differ according to the day of the week, the time of day and by geographical areas of residence which make up the power schedule (Peak and Off-peak) and energy billing periods (Peak, Intermediate and Off-peak). The Peak power period consists of Peak and Intermediate energy periods, while the Off-peak is the cheapest period and coincides with both terms. For the Peninsula* the schedule is:

peajes

Additionally, weekends (24 hours a day) and public holidays are also considered off-peak periods for both power and energy.

New 2.0TD tariff

All customers that had a 2.0 tariff (A, DHA or DHS) will have the same 2.0 tariff structure called 2.0TD, with the following characteristics

  • 2 energy periods, with the option to have different power ratings in each period. On 1 June, the power rating in both periods will stay the same, but you will be able to choose two power periods (the same or different) optimised for your personal requirements.
  • 3 energy periods, with the calendar described above.

These changes mean that the price of the power term (fixed) is going down, while the energy term (variable) is going up, so generally speaking your energy bill will not change too much. However, customers with the Voluntary Price for Small Customer (PVPC) have nothing to worry about because everything is updated automatically and we will continue to bill them as before.

These changes are designed to encourage responsible energy use by giving customers more control over their electricity bills and the ability to influence the variable part of the bill by using more efficient electrical appliances and adopting routines that reduce energy use. It is also more conducive to the integration of emerging technologies like electrical mobility and self consumption.

Do you have any questions?

Here you will find some of the most frequent questions, with their answers.

The new regulations are Circular 3/2020, of 15 January, issued by the National Commission for Markets and Competition; and Royal Decree 148/2021, of 9 March, issued by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge.

Circular 3/2020 establishes a new structure for tariff groups and billing terms, as well as the methodology for the annual calculation of the prices for these new electricity transmission and distribution tolls.

RD 148/2021 establishes the prices for electricity system charges and capacity payments for each tariff segment.

The aim is to encourage the use of the grids during off-peak hours when the cost is lower, so that consumers will have the option of consuming more efficiently, therefore helping to improve the efficiency of the system and the electrification of the economy.

The changes will apply from 1 June 2021.

No, you don't have to do anything. Iberdrola will take care of everything so that this change affects you as little as possible.

No, it won't change. You will have the same contracted power and it will be applied to both periods unless you decide to change it to suit your needs.

The ideal contracted power rating depends on your own personal consumption habits.

Yes, your prices will change when this regulation enters into force. As well as the items mentioned above, some other aspects have been changed by the ministry and by the CNMC. The change in regulated items will affect the Voluntary Price for the Small Consumer (PVPC) but you do not have to worry because you will be billed in the same way as you are now and the bill will be very similar to your current one.

Yes, you can contract the power you want in each period, provided that no period has more than 10kW so as not to lose the right to the Voluntary Price for the Small Consumer (PVPC)

No. Because you will automatically be transferred to the same contracted power, you will not notice any difference at home.

This option is very useful if you have an electric vehicle or another high-power appliance, such as an electric water heater or electric heating. You will be able to consume more energy at a higher power at night when the price is lower, and have a lower power the rest of the time.

Yes, your prices will change when this regulation enters into force. As well as the items mentioned above, some other aspects have been changed by the ministry and by the CNMC. The change in regulated items will affect the Voluntary Price for the Small Consumer (PVPC) but you do not have to worry because you will be billed in the same way as you are now and the bill will be very similar to your current one.

That's right. There will be three different energy periods so you can choose when you want to use your electricity.

No, these seasonal changes will not apply, only days of the week and times.

The new toll tariff structure has cheaper prices at some times of day (low/cheap rate). If the way you use energy fits these new time periods, you can make savings on your bill.

In June you will receive two bills in the same envelope (or email, if you use e-billing). One of the bills will be for the days before 1 June and the other for the days after 1 June. So as not to inconvenience you, we have decided to debit your bank for the total of both bills.

Generally speaking, the items billed will be the same, but there will be three new items because there are two power terms and three energy terms. What's more, regulated items displayed in the bill have been divided by two, into those regulated by the CNMC and those regulated by the ministry. Both will appear in the bill, both in power and in off-peak.

Yes, this regulation does not affect your bills and therefore you will continue to receive your bill as often as before.

The difference in price depends on the access tariff and each customer's individual energy use habits. Generally speaking, you will see the power for which you are billed (fixed term) will go down and that the charge for energy (variable term) will go up, so there will not be much of a change.
