Winter Time starts officially at 2:00 AM on Sunday 25th October 2020.

This will affect all consumers with an Off-Peak (‘Discriminación Horaria’) or Discounted tariffs, for ALL electricity providers, both dual-tariffs and 3-tier tariffs.

Off-Peak tariffs for ALL electricity providers in Spain have 10 hours per day charged at the Peak Rate and 14 hours per day charged at the Cheap Rate. Three-tier tariffs have the additional benefit of 6 hours charged at a further reduced rate.

Discounted Endesa Tariffs include “Tempo Happy” and “Siempre Ganas”

Dual-tariff: cheap rate off-peak hours (‘valle’) will be 10:00 PM until 12:00 PM (22:00-12:00). Peak rate hours (‘punta’) will be 12:00 PM until 10:00 PM (12:00-22:00)

3-Tier-Tariff: cheapest rate hours (‘supervalle’) will be 12:00 AM until 6:00 AM (00:00-06:00), the cheap rate hours (‘valle’) will be 10:00 PM until 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM until 12:00 PM (22:00-00:00 & 06:00-12:00). Peak rate hours (‘punta’) will be 12:00 PM until 10:00 PM (12:00-22:00)

If you are unsure whether the time changes will affect you, check a recent electricity bill, or your contract, the off-peak tariff code (‘Peaje de acceso’) depends on the power contracted (‘potencia contratada’):

Consumers with power upto 10 Kilowatts the tariff code is 2.0DHA (dual-tariff) or 2.0DHS (3-tier tariff)

Consumers with power between 10-15 Kilowatts the tariff code is 2.1DHA (dual-tariff) or 2.1DHS (3-tier tariff)

Consumers with power above 15 Kilowatts the tariff code is 3.0A (3-tier tariff)
