On June 1, the Government will introduce a change in access rates to take a further step towards sustainability , encouraging small consumers to transfer, as far as possible, consumption to periods of less demand.
This applies to all suppliers, simplifying access rates, also known as tolls . The access rate is included in your electricity bill, and is a part intended to pay the costs of access to the electricity grid. Right now, it consists of a power term and an energy term. It varies depending on the rate contracted by each customer, whether they have more or less cmo email lists contracted power or whether they have one or more energy periods.
So that you have the information on the different consumption times on which these new access rates are based, you must be clear that there will be three time slots for energy: Peak, Flat and Valley , the first being the most expensive, the second with an intermediate price and the last being the cheapest.
This modification in access rates responds to the need to raise awareness of a more responsible and efficient consumption of energy. Basically, it is about encouraging the most responsible consumers with a lower amount on their bill, rewarding them for their good use of energy.
Of course, there are only changes in the regulatory concepts. We, at Naturgy, do not vary the price of the free part of the energy in any of our rates .
Yes, yes, all this is very nice, but can you translate it for me?
Of course! We give you some examples of responsible consumption to help you.
If you are one of those who take advantage of working from home to put on the washing machine at midday, you should start changing this and leave it, for example, for the weekends which, along with the holidays, are in the time slot with the lowest energy prices.
Peak hours are 10am-2pm and 6pm-10pm, so you can also get up early to vacuum.
The most efficient time slot is 00-08 h, so remember to program your coffee maker before 8 am
The intermediate price time period is from 2-6pm and from 8-10am.

Therefore, if you have to turn on the dishwasher, washing machine and oven at the same time, remember these times so that your energy bill is not affected.
