The average price of electricity for this Sunday, February 22, 2026, is €103.61/MWh for consumers with a regulated or indexed tariff contracted in the free market, according to data published by Red Eléctrica. Thus, electricity ends the week with a small increase of 4.86% compared to Saturday. Specifically, you will pay about 4.80 euros more on average.
As a reminder, to avoid confusion, explain that this amount corresponds 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.
Unlike this, 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, its amount is usually higher.
