The price of electricity today, Sunday, October 25, 2026, has a particularity: it is necessary to consult 25 hours, because this morning the clock has gone back. The average of the energy term of the PVPC is at 0.1823 euros per kilowatt hour, excluding taxes, and the cheapest period is between 12:00 and 13:00, at 0.0414 euros/kWh.
The maximum occurs from 20:00 to 21:00, at 0.3468 euros/kWh. Between both extremes, there is a difference of 0.3054 euros for each kWh consumed. These are prices of the regulated tariff, according to the ESIOS series collected by LuzHoy, not the total cost of the bill.
At what time is electricity cheaper this Sunday
The most favorable time slots are concentrated between 09:00 and 17:00. Within that block, the around noon stands out: the intervals from 11:00 to 12:00, from 12:00 to 13:00, and from 13:00 to 14:00 present very close prices to each other.
For a program that lasts several hours, the whole cycle matters. It is not enough to turn on the appliance at the minute of the lowest price if most of its consumption occurs afterward. The morning and early afternoon slots allow for organizing those tasks with more leeway.

How much can be saved by changing an hour's consumption
An example allows measuring the difference without attributing the same savings to all households. If a consumption of 2 kWh were exactly moved from the most expensive hour to the cheapest, the energy term would go from 0.6936 to 0.0828 euros: about 61 cents less, before taxes.
It is a hypothetical calculation. The actual savings will depend on the energy that the device uses, the chosen program, and the hours during which it operates. The contracted power and other concepts on the bill do not disappear by displacing that consumption.
Why Sunday does not have a single price
In the 2.0TD tariff, weekends are off-peak periods for the purposes of tolls and hourly charges. This does not mean that each kWh costs the same during the 24 or, as today, 25 hours.
Red Eléctrica explains that the PVPC incorporates the cost of energy, references from the futures markets, adjustment services, and regulated components. That is why there can be significant differences within the same Sunday.
How to know if these prices apply to your contract
The data section of the contract on the bill allows you to check if the supply is covered by the PVPC. Those with a fixed price in the free market must use the conditions of their marketer to decide when it is convenient to consume.
The daily average is also not the price that each household will necessarily pay for all its electricity: it depends on how consumption is distributed among the hours. Two homes with the same kWh can end up with different energy costs if they use it at different times.
