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)
