The average price of electricity for this Friday, February 27, 2026, is €136.96/MWh for consumers with a regulated or indexed tariff contracted in the free market, according to data published by Red Eléctrica. In this way, electricity chains a new drop, although small, being 1.73% compared to Thursday. Specifically, on average they pay about 2.41 euros less.
We must not forget that this amount corresponds to the Voluntary Price for Small Consumers (PVPC), which is different from that published by the Iberian Energy Market Operator (OMIE) at noon and that shows what the average price costs within the wholesale market.
To differentiate them, the PVPC, which affects consumers with a regulated or indexed rate, includes concepts such as access tolls, system charges or electrical system adjustment costs. Therefore, it is usually higher.
