Use your washing machine and clean the pool over the weekend or on fiesta days to save electricity from Tuesday, June 1.
Using electrical appliances and using the pool pump outside the cheaper tariff bands could prove very expensive from tomorrow as the Government introduces a rigid system of electricity price bands to encourage non peak usage.
As previously reported in Nexonr there will be a new tariff structure with different prices and three price band periods for customers who contract 15kW or less beginning on June 1.
The changes will affect all PVPC customers (Precio Voluntario para el Pequeño Consumidor) and aim to help energy savings, efficiency, auto consumption and the use of electric vehicles.
The peak periods, when the cost of electricity and standing charges are highest, will be from 10am to 2pm and 6pm to 10pm.
The “flat” period, with an intermediate cost, will be from 8am to 10am and 2pm to 6pm, and between 10pm and midnight.
The cheapest period (tarifa valle) will be between midnight and 8am, throughout the weekend and on fiesta days.
Readers are warned ignoring this information could seriously affect your electricity bills.
If you want to know the actual cost of your electricity per kilowatt in the new time bands you should contact your electricity supplier.
