The 3 time slots for electricity (Monday to Friday)
From Monday to Friday, the 24 hours of the day are divided into these three periods:
Peak Hour (High Price): These are the most expensive hours of the day. It is advisable to avoid the simultaneous use of high-power appliances (oven, washing machine, ceramic hob).
Schedule: From 10:00 to 14:00 and from 18:00 to 22:00.
Flat Hour (Medium Price): An intermediate slot where the cost is not so high. It is a good alternative if you need to carry out household tasks during the day.
Schedule: From 08:00 to 10:00, from 14:00 to 18:00 and from 22:00 to 24:00.
Valley Hour (Low Price): The most economical slot of the day. Ideal for scheduling certain appliances or charging devices.
Schedule: From 00:00 to 08:00 in the morning.
Weekends are 100% Valley
Remember that both Saturdays and Sundays, as well as complete national holidays, are Valley Periods. During these days, there are no time slots: all hours are billed at the lowest price of the tariff.
Simple keys to start saving today
Take advantage of the dual power: The 2.0TD tariff allows you to contract two different power levels. You can maintain a normal power level during the day and increase it at night if you need to, for example, charge an electric vehicle at a minimum power cost.
Schedule and shift: Whenever possible, shift the use of the washing machine or dishwasher to weekends or to the afternoon hours during off-peak times (from 14:00 to 18:00).
The definitive leap to self-consumption: By generating your own solar energy during the day, you directly and freely cover the Peak and Off-Peak periods, reducing your dependence on the electrical grid during the most critical times of the day.
