Frequently asked questions
PVPC is Spain's government-regulated electricity tariff where the price per kWh changes every hour. It's typically cheapest between midnight and 8 AM and most expensive from 6-10 PM. You can save 20-30% by shifting heavy usage to off-peak hours. Any home under 10 kW can sign up — no contract needed.
Usually, yes. PVPC saves most households 10-20% vs fixed rates if you run appliances like the washing machine and dishwasher at night (midnight-8 AM). Fixed rates give price certainty but you pay a premium for it. Check our comparator to see the exact difference for your usage.
The cheapest electricity hours in Spain are midnight to 8 AM (valle period). Mid-price hours are 8-10 AM and 2-6 PM (llano). The most expensive are 10 AM-2 PM and 6-10 PM (punta). Running your dishwasher at 1 AM instead of 8 PM can cost half the price.
Switching is free and takes about 2-3 weeks. Call a reference provider (Endesa, Iberdrola, Naturgy, EDP, or Repsol) and ask for PVPC. You just need your CUPS code from your bill. There's no penalty, no paperwork hassle, and your power is never cut during the switch.
Start by checking your annual consumption on your bill (average Spanish home uses about 2,600 kWh/yr). Then use our free comparator to see costs across 100+ offers. Compare both the energy price (€/kWh) and standing charge (término de potencia). PVPC usually wins if you can use power off-peak.
Nope - PVPC prices are the same everywhere in Spain. It doesn't matter if you're in San Sebastian or anywhere else, the price per kWh is identical. The only tiny differences are local taxes and fees that vary a bit by town in Basque Country.
They can still be worth it, even though San Sebastian only gets about 1600 hours of sun a year - less than the south. You won't save as much as someone in Malaga, but combined with using cheap PVPC hours at night, it adds up. Basque Country sometimes offers grants that make the numbers work better.
In San Sebastian, heating is where most of your bill goes - about 4 months of the year you'll need it. Set your heaters on a timer to run at night when electricity is cheapest. Good news is you barely need AC in summer, so those months are much cheaper than the rest of Spain.
The main electricity providers in San Sebastian are Iberdrola and EDP. They all offer both PVPC (regulated) and free-market tariffs. When comparing, don't just look at the price per kWh - check the standing charge, contract length, and whether they offer green energy options.
Electricity is cheapest late at night and early morning (midnight to 8 AM) and most expensive in the evening (6 PM to 10 PM). In San Sebastian, summer months can shift the peak slightly because of air conditioning use. Try to run your washing machine, dishwasher, and other heavy appliances during the cheap hours.
Possibly - San Sebastian's municipal government and the Basque Country regional authorities sometimes offer subsidies for solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and home insulation. These programs change regularly, so check with your local town hall or the Basque Country energy agency for what's currently available.
If you can shift some of your electricity use to off-peak hours (overnight, early morning), PVPC is usually cheaper than a fixed-rate plan in San Sebastian. The trade-off is that prices change every hour, so you need to pay attention to timing. Check today's prices above to see how much you could save.
