The average price of electricity for this Sunday, March 15, 2026, is €97.50/MWh for consumers with a regulated or indexed tariff contracted on the free market, according to data published by Red Eléctrica. After several days of drops, electricity closes the week with an increase of 9.29% compared to Saturday, which means paying about 8.20 euros more on average.
As a reminder, it must be taken into account that this amount refers to the Voluntary Price for Small Consumers (PVPC), which is different from the one published the Iberian Energy Market Operator (OMIE) at noon and that shows what the average price costs within the wholesale market.
To understand the difference, it is enough to know that the PVPC, which is the one that affects consumers with a regulated or indexed rate, includes concepts such as access tolls, system charges or electrical system adjustment costs. For this reason, it usually registers higher amounts.
