The megavatio/hour beats its historical maximum every little time.According to the data provided by the Iberian Electricity Market Operator (OMIE) now costs the triple that a year ago.Adjust the power, acquire certain habits of use and change from marketer relieve the final amount of the electricity bill.
por Luzía Green, 01/10/2021It is not possible to do miracles, but users can take some measures to save on the electricity bill.
In the last months the price of the megavatio hour (MWh) is rising, with forgiveness of the bad joke, at the speed of light.
So much so, that we currently paid it about six times that what cost just a year ago.And the worst part is that, as experts warn, the trend has no visos that it will change.
The news and newspapers continually talk about the new record that beats this indicator, which is already above 200 euros.In fact, its price fluctuates every hour.
The consequence of this escalation that does not seem to be in is the increase in the light of the light.
But what can be done to contain this expense or reduce it as much as possible?From Aluzina, the new Movilonia energy marketing zone.com, we give you some tips and recommendations to pay less light:

Making exactly the same use is possible to pay less (or more) with an electric marketer or other.So comparing the prices of the contracted power and the KWh consumed with one company or another (or even with the different rates that each one has) can mean an important savings.
In addition, it should be taken into account that electricity is a basic and essential supply service that must be paid every month (or every two).
Let's take as an example that of a person who lives on an apartment and pays an average of 65 euros per month.Makes a comparison with another option and calculates a saving of 9 euros on each invoice.Initially it may seem little and may not be worth it.However, that accumulated amount throughout the year would mean accumulated savings of more than 100 euros.
To pay less light it is convenient to compare the price of power and that of the kilowatios hour (kWh) with the current marketer and with others and change if it is cheaper.
Unlike the portability that are made in fiber and mobile services, the process is much easier.No cut in the service is produced and the visit of any technician is required.
And for the people who are lazy or not have time to study which is the best alternative, they simply have to attach their last invoice to our partner Luzía Green.She takes care of everything for free and without commitment.Compare with different marketers and respond with the most appropriate option in each case.If you agree, you also take care of the change process (of course, also without cost).
There is a part of the electricity bill that is what is known as the fixed term.This part is paid independently of consumption.So much so, that in the second residences this minimum must be paid even if everything is disconnected and no use is made for months.
So how is it possible to save in this concept?Adjusting the power.It is convenient to have an adequate amount, so that it is not insufficient.But that neither about too much.
If it is below what is necessary, what is usually called "Ploms" will happen.That is, when using several appliances simultaneously (for example, the air conditioning, the washing machine and the microwave), the power limiter is disconnected and interrupts the supply.
Nor should excessive power be hired, since that makes the invoice more expensive every month.
Increase or reduce power has a cost in both cases.However, with the change of regulation of the electricity sector that entered into force on June 1, 2021 it is possible to carry out a couple of free modifications until May 31, 2022.
Another novelties of this new regulation is that it is now possible to have two different powers, instead of only one as before.
It is best to consult with an electrician or a specialist to know which is the most appropriate amount in each case.
In 2012, the manufacture of new traditional bulbs was prohibited and in 2018 it was the turn of the halogen.However, they can be sold until stocks are exhausted.And many houses still light up with this type of lamps.
Changing classic bulbs for other LEDs implies significant electric power savings.In addition, they generate much less heat and illuminate more.
Replace them with LED lighting is initially expensive, but compensates for savings obtained in the medium and long term, since they consume about five times less.
In addition, these types of bulbs are not only much more efficient, but they generate much less heat and are up to eight times more durable.
When acquiring a new appliance, it is important to look at the energy efficiency label.If it is A+, A ++ or A +++ you can consume up to 55% less than a conventional apparatus.
The National Association of Manufacturers and Importers of Appliances (ANFEL) points out that opting for an oven, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and refrigerator A +++ is an annual savings of almost 1.200 kWh.And that, translated to euros, are more than 200 euros every 12 months.
Beyond acquiring or renewing electrical equipment with a +++ label, the use we make of them can also be a saving in consumption.These are some tips that should be taken into account in the kitchen:
Use tapas and turn off the hob a few minutes before finishing cooking, save light.
All devices that are plugged consume electricity even though they are not being used.This is the case of the mobile charger after the battery has reached 100%.
This is what is known as the standby mode.In many cases the device has a small pilot that is usually red.The TV, the decoder, the computer monitor, many coffee makers ...
Obviously the expense is much lower than when these devices are being used, but it should be taken into account that they remain in this state of hibernation during the 24 hours, 7 days of the week.
How much do you imply having all these devices at rest?The Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) calculates that this residual consumption, accumulated throughout the year in an average home, adds about 450 kWh.
Climatization experts recommend maintaining a temperature between 22 and 25ºC during the summer and 21ºC months for winter.
Descending (or increasing) each centigrade grade implies an average of 7% additional consumption.That is why these thresholds should not exceed.
And to better conserve air conditioning, it is essential that the house is correctly isolated.
That can be achieved with some actions:
Have double glazing, raise or lower the blinds and have curtains allows you to preserve the interior temperature of a house much better.Making proper use of these elements it is possible to save a lot of electricity.
This traffic light summarizes Punta, Llana and Valle.
Some marketers have a single price for the kWh that apply during the 24 hours, 7 days a week.However, since the entry into force of the changes that the Government introduced since June 1, 2021, three different prices are established that vary according to the day and time.
This implies that, for example, using the oven at 180ºC on Wednesday between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.that is flat rate), to use it on a Saturday at any time (Valle tariff).
Therefore, as far as possible, it is convenient to modify the habits of using certain appliances (washing machine, dryer, dishwasher ...) to take advantage of valley hours (basically, at night and during the weekends).
