The average price of electricity is set to rise again this Sunday for customers whose bills are tied to regulated rates linked to the wholesale market. The established benchmark will be 133.89 euros per megawatt hour (MWh), representing an increase of 4.12% from Saturdays level of 128.59 Euro per MWh. This shift affects households and small businesses that rely on the wholesale pricing framework for their energy costs.
Within the wholesale market auction, commonly referred to as the pool, the Sunday average price is projected at 137.77 euro per MWh. The lowest rate observed between 13:00 and 15:00 is expected to be 120 euro per MWh, while during the peak window from 17:00 to 20:00 the price could climb to 173.46 euro per MWh. These intraday variations illustrate the daily dynamics of supply and demand that shape consumer charges in real time.
Compensation for gas suppliers is added to the pool price. This adjustment is borne by consumers who benefit from the measure, including those on regulated tariffs (PVPC) and those on indexed rates even in the free market. For this Sunday the compensation is calculated at -3.88 euro per MWh, a deduction that partially offsets some of the price movements observed in the pool itself.
Looking at the first 12 days of February, the average electricity price for customers on the regulated tariff connected to the wholesale market stands at 129.84 euro per MWh. This level is 51.28% higher than the average of 85.83 euro per MWh recorded in the same period the previous month, reflecting how recent market conditions have shifted costs upward for regulated-price consumers.
