Hello Karen
We are with Iberdrola on the day/night rate using a smart meter, our December bill was €57.15 for a 3 bed villa with a pool (no pool heater), we spent 7 days there over Christmas.
Read more...
I buy energy as part of my job and have a spreadsheet (sad I know !) monitoring our monthly consumption for the last 26 months or so
Our prices have not increased recently (apart from the day/night split) but what is important only 33% of our December Bill was actually consumption (189 kwh), the rest was made up as follows :
Daily charge 44%
Electricity Tax 4%
Meter rental 2%
IVA (Vat) 17%
If possible, please check your account details online and check your last 6 bills or so to check for any variances.
It doesn`t take a lot of consumption to get to €50-60 !
Hope it helps
Anthony
Hi
We too have had an increase in electricity from 22 euros to 56 euros for November and December, we also lock up and leave, turning water and electricity off.
The bill is estimated, I have been told I have to pay this bill even though it is estimated, is this correct. We will change to a smart meter soon which hopefully will be better
