Christmas It is synonymous with gifts, lavish dinners and energy consumption. The arrival of winter months triggers the energy consumption of homes and the use of heating systems increases to the maximum during this period. In this sense, Roams comparator has prepared a study. they come to conclusion Spanish houses They will pay an average of 406 euros to turn on gas boilers houses with heating system this winter aerothermal board electricity They will reduce expenses to 288 euros.
These average forecasts for Christmas (November to March) do not include additional conditions. invoice like contract power In case of electricity or access feesIn the case of gas, the quantities of which are affected by the consumption of hot water, electricity or appliances, among other systems.
However, the panorama can vary significantly depending on the climate of the region where the house is located, the type of house (apartment or detached house) or energy consumption and therefore the type of house. heating cost. In this sense, Single-family homes in the Continental region They will have to put in the most effort this winter, 761.56 euros. On the other side of the coin, apartments in the Atlantic region, which will spend almost 75 percent less on natural gas and 70 percent less on electric heating, will be able to reach 2019 prices. In winter it is 197.02 euros or 163.62 euros respectively.
However, those who find it cheaper in winter say that apartments and detached houses have an average minimum 140.07 euros (an apartment with a fixed free market electricity tariff) and 443.14 euros (A single-family home with a free market gas rate) is on heating this winter.
Another element of uncertainty is added to these predictions; because electricity and gas prices are currently experiencing changes in international markets, which may put further upward pressure on prices; but prices may drop. “HE electricity price increased from 70.4 euro/MWh A figure exceeding 100 Euro/MWh in October was achieved on average in November. An increase in price of more than 44%, which means: So far, It will be the most expensive month of the year in electricity“says Sergio Soto, energy expert at Roams.
Natural gas market looks calmer. “A big increase is not expected”Although it all depends on the geopolitical situation, the potential escalation of the occupation of Ukraine could lead to an increase in raw material prices, which would affect consumers.
