Access rates 2.0 and 2.1 have been grouped together and called rate 2.0TD as of June 1, 2021. This regulation change was announced in the circular issued by the CNMC (24/01/2020), with the intention of being implemented in 2020, but due to the health crisis generated by COVID 19, it was delayed.

The new 2.0TD tariff will be applied to all low voltage supply points with a potencia/ contracted power of 15 kW and less (<15kW).

The 2.0TD access rates will replace the former: 2.0A, 2.0DHA, 2.0DHS & the 2.10A, 2.1DHA, 2.1DHS tariffs.

1. A single access toll: Previously, domestic customer supply points had up to 6 access tolls (2.0A, 2.0DHA, 2.0DHS & 2.1A, 2.1DHA 2.1DHS). Once the changes are implemented, they are all be categorised in the 2.0TD toll.
2. Mandatory time discrimination: All customers with a power of up to 15 kW (<15kW) now have a mandatory rate with time discrimination with 3 time periods. 
3. Two Contracted Powers: Consumers now have two contracted potencia / contracted power (kW) amounts, a Peak and an Off-Peak.
   

The new 2.0TD implements time discrimination for all consumers.

The 24 hour day will be divided into three time periods: Peak P1 (“Punta”), Off-Peak P2 (“Llano”) and Super Off-Peak P3 (“Valle”). 

The time schedule applies differently from Monday to Friday and for Saturday, Sunday and public holidays. The time discrimination schedule is not the same for the entire national territory, Ceuta and Melilla have their own particular schedule.

The new 2.0TD tariff brings a new Super Off-Peak period of 8 hours a day, Monday to Friday providing the lowest prices. Unlike the previous tariffs with time discrimination, all-day Saturday and Sunday, along with national public holidays, will also be considered as Super Off-Peak periods. Unlike the previous time discrimination, the schedule will not change depending on the summer or winter clock.

To make the most of keeping your costs as low as possible, refer to the below schedule and use the majority of your consumption where possible, during the cheaper hours of the day:

Another change that will be implemented for the new 2.0TD tariff is related to the potencia. Consumers will have two contracted potencia / contracted power (kW) amounts, a Peak and an Off-Peak.

Currently consumers have one potencia, once the changes take place, consumers can contract two different potencia/ power levels depending on their requirements, one for the Peak and another for the Off Peak . Either keeping the same amount or two different amounts for each period.

Deciding on the potencia level will be dependent on individual requirements, such as when you are more prone to make use of the most appliances at the same time, at any given time.

Ideally it would be best to have a higher required potencia during the Off-Peak period as the costs will be less.

Access tariffs with a potencia greater than 15kW will also undergo important changes. A total of six electricity prices will apply during the day, each one corresponding to a specific time period.

The schedule of each will depend on the month. The months of the year will be grouped into different seasons, specifically four: peak, medium peak, medium and off-peak.

Each season will consist of different months depending on where you are located: the mainland, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Ceuta or Melilla.

Four electric seasons will also be identified throughout the year. At the moment we had differentiated the seasons as Summer and Winter, but with this new change, the intention is to differentiate 4 seasons: peak season, medium peak season, medium season and off-peak season).

The 4 seasons will be different in the Main Land, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla.

Please find below how the price of electricity is distributed according to the season on the Main Land.
The energy billed during weekends and national holidays will keep the price of off-peak electricity, during all hours of the day, anywhere.

Please find below how the price of electricity is distributed according to the season on the Balearic Islands.
The energy billed during weekends and national holidays will keep the price of off-peak electricity, during all hours of the day, anywhere.

Here is another way to identify the cheapest hours for the contracted power (which corresponds to contracted power called P6) of each season. This table corresponds only to the billing period for the Main Land:
