Experts recommend scheduling laundry, running dishwashers, and other high-energy tasks during this period to help reduce your final bill.

Throughout the day, electricity prices change every 15 minutes. Prices are lowest during the day and peak in the evening and early morning, exceeding 150 euros per megawatt-hour. Such fluctuations are prompting many residents to reconsider their routines and adapt to the new market realities.
Such fluctuations in electricity prices have become increasingly noticeable in recent months. Spaniards are forced to adapt in order to avoid overpaying for electricity and closely monitor the schedule of peak and off-peak hours. For many families, this has already become part of their daily routine.
