Rates that will save you hundreds of euros and that the big electricity companies hide, according to the OCU

According to the OCU, the main electricity marketers offer exorbitant rates and hide the cheapest ones in favor of their benefits. We show you some of the most affordable.

The electricity bill is still through the roof and there are many who have to do a lot of numbers to be able to make ends meet. In addition, the high temperatures are not helping, since it is time to decide whether or not to dispense with the air conditioning and right now it does not seem like an option.

Some even consider changing their rate to a cheaper one even though it offers fewer benefits. However, according to the OCU, there are some really good ones that do not have to force you to put aside some needs.

In a published article, we leave you belowalso report that many gas and electricity marketers they try to hide their cheapest rates or do not present them completely clearly to confuse the user.

“The web pages of the electricity marketers should inform in detail of all their available offers, but the most interesting rates are not usually easy to find”they comment.

To this must be added that On June 15, the mechanism to reduce the price of electricity in the wholesale market was launched. The price of gas to generate electricity is limited and in exchange it is offered at lower prices. The marketers, for their part, are obliged to pay the cost of these measures for all contracts (or renewals) after April 26.

For things like these they warn that if the offer is prior to this April 26, we must be cautious if we do not want scares despite the good price we see. Nevertheless, OCU helps you identify the best offers currently available. We leave you with some that stand out and their characteristics.

1. Octopus Energy: In this case, prices of offers already include the cost of the measuretherefore we find honest prices. From the web they inform of the following rates:

• Octopus 3. Price per kWh consumed Peak: €0.254/kWh Flat: €0.209/kWh Valley: €0.185/kWh.
• Octopus Relax. Price per kWh consumed: €0.212/kWh.

2. Iberdrola Plan Online: here we do not find the addition, so we must be very careful to avoid surprises. These are the prices they control:

“OCU insists that gas and electricity marketers should present all their rates in a clear and accessible way on their web pages, both those that can be contracted at that time (detailing the contracting channel) and those that are no longer active for new hires, but continue to apply to customers”they end in their article, and they are not without reason.
