I have eventually got Iberdrola to send me a electric bill.  Cannot understand all what we are paying for.  Can someone explain the charges below, dont understand the insurance bit.  I did ask them to change tme to thier owest tarif but not had any word back re this.  Do all electric companies in Spain charg the same, or can someone recommend alternative?

Measurement equipment rental
€ 0.53
€ 4.01
Payment insurance premium plus
€ 1.31
mpto.about Electricity
€ 1.48
Value added tax
€ 7.35

Contact Iberdrola and request they remove the extra services for you - this saved us monies on monthly basis. I've left the kw at 5.5kw, not changed the tariff, will do in due course. Currently pay around 30 euro's a month.

Just to add to the comments above...

The Payment Insurance premium is the equivalent of PPI - it is insurance that would pay your electricity bills for you if you couldn't for reasons that are covered by the policy.

Chris500 - the Electrical Emergency Service that you have cancelled provided (as the name implies) emergency electrical repairs to all your wiring from the meter - and you will probably find that this product also provided you with consumption discount of 10% that is also shown on your bill - it's common in Spain to offer one product with a discount of another part of the same service.

I've attached a couple of links the Iberdrola website that explain the bill and how to check the best tariff...

Many thanks to everyone.  Now been online and going to take off the insurance as not needed, and will also look to see if we need 5.75kw or can maybe go lower, plus go on the night rate

So cheers to all

Hi

I had the same problem as you. 

Someone else set electricity for me and they added others things that is optional, like: insurance,services etc.

I called iberdrola and asked them to remove all the optional things. 

I have downloaded iberdrola app and reduced the the potencia (electricity power) from 5.5KW to 3.45 KW ,i use to pay 32 € per month, i now paying half. 

Hope this helps. 

Marcel
