The price of electricity this Sunday, September 6, 2026, shows a significant difference between the central hours of the day and night. The average of the PVPC is set at 0.1592 euros per kilowatt hour, with the minimum between 11:00 and 12:00 and the maximum between 21:00 and 22:00.
The amounts correspond to the hourly price of consumption in the regulated market, excluding taxes. To interpret its effect on the bill, one must also take into account the contracted power and the other concepts of the invoice.
What time is electricity cheaper today
The minimum occurs between 11:00 and 12:00, with −0.0086 euros/kWh. The consulted tables show five consecutive hours with negative values, from 11:00 to 16:00.
The favorable interval extends to its two extremes: from 10:00 to 11:00 the price is 0.0242 euros/kWh and from 16:00 to 17:00 it remains at 0.0237 euros/kWh. These are the time slots that should be compared when scheduling consumptions that can be shifted.
When does it reach its highest price
The most expensive hour will be from 21:00 to 22:00, at 0.3017 euros/kWh. Followed by the segment from 20:00 to 21:00, at 0.2898 euros/kWh, and from 22:00 to 23:00, at 0.2678 euros/kWh.
The increase is particularly noticeable from 19:00. For a household whose contract transfers these hourly prices to consumption, concentrating several appliances in that time frame can raise the variable part of the bill.

What does it mean that negative prices appear
A negative value in the hourly price does not make the entire bill free. The bill includes concepts that do not disappear when consuming at that hour, such as the power term or the rental of the meter.
It is also advisable to check the contract before reorganizing the schedules. A free market rate with a fixed price per kilowatt hour does not automatically change because the PVPC does.
The useful comparison is that of the cost applicable to each household: how much the device consumes, how long its operation lasts, and what price is contracted during that interval.
