The price of electricity continues to be consolidated as one of the main headaches for citizens within an inflationary spiral and in the midst of the Government’s battle in the European Union to put limits on energy prices, which has led to a joint proposal for Spain and Portugal to limit the maximum price of gas at 30 euros.
Meanwhile, life goes on and the price of electricity remains at extremely high levels compared to those of the same date in 2021. According to data from OMIE, the regulator in Spain and Portugal, for this Thursday, April 7, the price of electricity will be 214.79 euros/MWh, 200% more than a year ago, when the price was 70.82 euros/MWh.
This price, however, will be applied to the invoices of people who have contracted a regulated rate (PVPC). Those with a free market rate will only notice the increase when their contract is updated annually.

Why does the price of electricity vary so much?
The main cause of the price fluctuations is that the price of gas is experiencing strong increases and its use is essential for the production of energy in the so-called combined cycle plants. Thus, any impact on the price of gas has an almost immediate impact on the price of electricity.
The current context does not help, precisely, to contain the price of gas. Russia is one of the largest suppliers of gas on the planet and the influence of the war in Ukraine has been felt in half the world, including Spain.
