Why is the price of electricity going up?
The electricity bill of an average user with the regulated tariff -the so-called PVPC- stood in November at 115.18 euros, 68.1% above the 68.50 euros for the same month last year, thus being the second most expensive bill in history after last October, according to data from Facua-Consumidores en Acción.
This increase in cost has two main causes:
high gas prices in the markets and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission rights, which are at all-time highs this year.
