Thanks very much for what you say, and welcome to the forum.

I'm far from being the only one who posts good information, so please make sure you look at what others have to say.

Due to personal circumstances, I've not been able to post much new information, but hopefully normal service will soon be resumed.

Jim, your guides hopefully will reduce the number of annoying questions I´m going to have to ask if my solo move is to happen successfully. As you say many others, thank you Nicola, can and will help and that makes all the difference. I hope it is not too long before you are back at your keyboard...these are difficult times. Stay safe, everyone.

Hi all

I have only been here 6 months and am staggered at the price of electricity. 

It is criminal what they charge. More frightening is an article I read in today's paper saying they are raising the price again. Does no one in Spain complain. It's as if they can do exactly what they want.

We are on  Iberdrolas night tariff.We use 2 air con units for 8 hours through the night,every night. We use one unit when it is on the dearer period early evening.Between us we have 6 showers daily.Have an electric cooker. I use the dishwasher and washing machine late evening or before midday. This months bill was 90€. That she pretty damn fair to us. Good luck.

Sorry,don't know what we pay per kWh,is that kilowatt?  Never bothered with that. We are happy with the price though. Winter is a different story,but that is our fault,as we use the air con on hot in the expensive period. Our highest monthly winter bill was 140€. Bearing in mind we use the oven more for hot meals,than summer. We have heaters running in bedrooms after using the shower,so I suppose it's not too bad at all. We have been with Iberdrola for 6 years now.

Theres nothing for you to understand. If you don't agree. Up to you but your opinion isn't the same as ours. If we want to complain about anything it's up to us. I and others personally think it's very expensive. I've notice you comment on everything and take sides with Spain because you've ...

...probably been here a long time. Since I've come here I've met so many smug expats who love to put us newbys in our place because you all know so much more. Well this Newby is not interested. 

Who would help someone that replies like that?

There was nothing wrong with Jim's reply, it was common sense.

No wonder there has been posts about manners with your posts

In the UK I pay So you can then see if Spain is VERY expensive as I am told

It would be interesting to see both figures on different tariffs for Murcia and Alicante, not sure if there is a difference between areas

Unit rate 15.330p per kWhStanding charge 14.417p per day

Yes,it's a shame that some posts get positively nasty. Absolutely no need,this is 'normally' a nice site with folk only wanting to help each other. Some folk just need to chill. This from a 6 year in ex pat,who isn't smug,and deffo doesn't know it all. I rely on ex pats who do,thank you. Xxxxx
