Frequently asked questions
PVPC is Spain's government-regulated electricity tariff where the price per kWh changes every hour. It's typically cheapest between midnight and 8 AM and most expensive from 6-10 PM. You can save 20-30% by shifting heavy usage to off-peak hours. Any home under 10 kW can sign up — no contract needed.
Usually, yes. PVPC saves most households 10-20% vs fixed rates if you run appliances like the washing machine and dishwasher at night (midnight-8 AM). Fixed rates give price certainty but you pay a premium for it. Check our comparator to see the exact difference for your usage.
The cheapest electricity hours in Spain are midnight to 8 AM (valle period). Mid-price hours are 8-10 AM and 2-6 PM (llano). The most expensive are 10 AM-2 PM and 6-10 PM (punta). Running your dishwasher at 1 AM instead of 8 PM can cost half the price.
Switching is free and takes about 2-3 weeks. Call a reference provider (Endesa, Iberdrola, Naturgy, EDP, or Repsol) and ask for PVPC. You just need your CUPS code from your bill. There's no penalty, no paperwork hassle, and your power is never cut during the switch.
Start by checking your annual consumption on your bill (average Spanish home uses about 2,600 kWh/yr). Then use our free comparator to see costs across 100+ offers. Compare both the energy price (€/kWh) and standing charge (término de potencia). PVPC usually wins if you can use power off-peak.
Nope - PVPC prices are the same everywhere in Spain. It doesn't matter if you're in Tarragona or anywhere else, the price per kWh is identical. The only tiny differences are local taxes and fees that vary a bit by town in Catalonia.
Yes, Tarragona gets around 2600 hours of sunshine a year, which is plenty for solar panels to make a real difference on your bill. Not as sunny as the south of Spain, but modern panels work well even on cloudy days. Check if Catalonia has any grants to help with the cost.
AC is the big one in Tarragona during summer. Set it to run at night when electricity is cheap (midnight to 8 AM) to cool down the house before the hot day starts. Open windows in the evening to catch the sea breeze instead. With 2600 hours of sun, solar panels pay for themselves pretty fast here.
The main electricity providers in Tarragona are Endesa and Naturgy. They all offer both PVPC (regulated) and free-market tariffs. When comparing, don't just look at the price per kWh - check the standing charge, contract length, and whether they offer green energy options.
Electricity is cheapest late at night and early morning (midnight to 8 AM) and most expensive in the evening (6 PM to 10 PM). In Tarragona, summer months can shift the peak slightly because of air conditioning use. Try to run your washing machine, dishwasher, and other heavy appliances during the cheap hours.
Possibly - Tarragona's municipal government and the Catalonia regional authorities sometimes offer subsidies for solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and home insulation. These programs change regularly, so check with your local town hall or the Catalonia energy agency for what's currently available.
If you can shift some of your electricity use to off-peak hours (overnight, early morning), PVPC is usually cheaper than a fixed-rate plan in Tarragona. The trade-off is that prices change every hour, so you need to pay attention to timing. Check today's prices above to see how much you could save.
