The price of electricity for consumers with a regulated or indexed rate in the free market drops by 5.12% this Sunday, November 8, 2026. This means, according to the data published by Red Eléctrica, that the 0.2056 euros/kWh or 205.64 euros/MWh on Saturday to cost €0.1951/kWh (€195.11/MWh).
It must be taken into account that this Voluntary Price for Small Consumers (PVPC) differs from the prices paid in the wholesale electricity market. It is usually a larger amount because it includes other concepts such as taxes, tolls or the cost of marketing.
Another point that must be considered is the units of measurement in which these quantities are expressed. While the price in euros/MWh is the one with which the price is established by Red Eléctrica, the amounts in euros/kWh are those that consumers will see reflected on their invoice.
