And to achieve greater savings on your electricity bill, you should choose the low hours, when the costs are the lowest.<\/p>\n<h3>What should you do to be eligible for the new billing system?<\/h3>\n<p>There are two different cases depending on the type of user:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For users who are eligible for the regulated fees of the <strong>Voluntary Price for Small Consumers<\/strong> (VPSC), the change is automatic.<\/li>\n<li>However, <strong>free market users<\/strong>, those who agreed to the price with the company, have to make sure that their supplier adapts the contract price to the new regulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How do the experts advise you to benefit from this change?<\/h3>\n<p>To <strong>save on your electricity bill<\/strong> and be more <strong>efficient,<\/strong> the experts advise programming your washing machine, dryer or dishwasher to operate at night. Or you can cook on the weekend and freeze the food to lower your oven or stove use during the week.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, users who can adapt their consumption habits to the new schedules will be able to save the most.<\/p>\n<h3>Possibility of contracting 2 power slots<\/h3>\n<p>As a new option, the new electricity bill offers the possibility of contracting <strong>2 peak powers<\/strong>. Until now, users were only able to have a single peak power, but now they can request 2 different powers for specific time slots.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of these changes is to <strong>lower consumption at peak hours<\/strong> to avoid overloading the grid, and this decreases the need to work on new infrastructures, which boosts costs that are ultimately reflected on end consumers\u2019 bills. Users who manage to shift <strong>their energy consumption habits to normal and low hours<\/strong> will save the most on their bills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Tuesday, June 1 2021, a new electricity bill model has entered into force with the goal of encouraging energy [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1164,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[321,320],"tags":[362,355],"class_list":["post-2373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-current-events-en","category-sustainability-en","tag-economy-en","tag-trends-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How will the new electricity bill affect you?
