Hire the right power. Check the invoice for the maximum peak power in the last 12 months. If it is lower than the contracted power, request its reduction during peak hours. Be careful, do not change it for off-peak hours, since it will barely be noticed on the bill and in exchange, if you need to, you can increase the power again in the future during peak hours with almost no costs and without much paperwork. Another 3 euros per month can be saved for each kW of power reduced.

Modify consumption habits. Users with a regulated tariff (PVPC) and with an indexed free tariff should also try to limit their electricity consumption during peak hours (weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. It is also advisable to unplug devices that are not used, another extra cost of around 4 euros per month, or select the Eco programs in the washing machine and dishwasher, which reduce electricity consumption by 40%.
