How do you send the invoice?

It is sent by e-mail or postal mail. For our part, we encourage electronic delivery because in addition to receiving your invoice the same day of issuance, you will contribute to the environment.

When will I receive my invoice?

Invoices are issued monthly. The date of issue depends on when your distributor sends us the meter reading.

When will my electric bill be charged?

The charge will be made on the due date indicated on your bill. If you have chosen a fixed date, the bill will be charged on that specific date.

Will you bill me for actual or estimated consumption?

What do I pay on my electricity bill?

Your electricity bill is made up of several items that together determine the total amount to be paid. Here we explain them in a simple and clear way:

  • Power (kW): This is a fixed cost that depends on the maximum energy capacity that you can use simultaneously in your home. It is measured in kilowatts (kW) and is calculated by multiplying the days of the period billed by the contracted power and its price. This allows you to use several appliances at the same time without blowing the fuse. This cost also includes access tolls, which is a regulated charge for the use of the electricity grid and charges.
  • Energy (kWh): This includes the cost of the electricity you actually consume. It is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh) and is calculated by multiplying the kWh you have used by the kWh price. The number of kWh on your bill is the difference between your last reading and your current reading. Basically, you pay for the amount of electricity you have consumed. This cost includes the access toll, which is a regulated charge for the use of the electricity grid.
  • Equipment rental: If you do not own your meter, there is a small monthly charge for its use, set by the distribution company.
  • Electricity tax: This is a tax regulated by the government that is levied on the sum of energy and power costs. It is applied on the sum of energy and power by multiplying both by the tax in force .
  • VAT: This is the Value Added Tax applied to the total bill, including the electricity tax. Its percentage may vary depending on the regulations in force and the geographical area (Peninsula, Balearic or Canary Islands).

In short, your bill includes both fixed costs, such as the contracted power, and variable costs, such as energy consumption. In addition, the corresponding taxes are added, clearly detailing the breakdown of the total amount you pay.

What is power and why is it important?

Power, measured in kilowatts (kW), indicates the maximum amount of electricity you can use simultaneously in your home. Think of it as the width of a water pipe: the wider it is, the more water can flow through at the same time. Similarly, more power allows you to use more appliances at the same time without tripping the breaker .

At Nordy, we help you choose the perfect power for your home or business, ensuring that you pay only for what you really need, optimizing your costs and ensuring efficient consumption.

What is the difference between a market tariff and a fixed tariff?

Indexed or market price rates, such as our Market Tariff, vary according to the wholesale market price, allowing you to take advantage of the lowest cost times. On the other hand, fixed tariffs, such as our 24h Tariff, maintain a constant price per kWh, offering you stability and predictability in your bill.

At Nordy we have both the Market Tariff and the 24 hours Tariff, we are here to advise you and help you choose the tariff that best suits your needs.

What is the best rate for me?

If you are looking to save by adapting your consumption to the most economical hours and you don't mind some price variability, the indexed tariff is ideal. But if you prefer the peace of mind of a stable price and avoid surprises, a fixed rate is perfect for you.

What are the benefits of each type of tariff?

With an indexed tariff, you can maximize your savings by taking advantage of low market prices. With a fixed rate, you enjoy the peace of mind of always paying the same price per kWh, regardless of market fluctuations.

What does it mean that the price of electricity is variable?

Variable electricity pricing means that your rate adjusts according to the cost of electricity on the wholesale market, which changes hourly. At Nordy, we buy energy directly from the market, where prices vary constantly. With our Market Rate you pay per kWh at cost price, which allows you to take advantage of off-peak times and save more.

What does it mean that the price per kWh is fixed?

A fixed price per kWh means you pay the same rate for each unit of energy consumed, regardless of variations in the market. This protects you from possible increases in the price of electricity, guaranteeing you a stable and predictable cost.

What are the differences between peak, flat and off-peak hours and how can I save with them?

From June 1, 2021, supplies with power up to 15kW will have an access toll 2.0TD with hourly discrimination of 3 periods: peak, flat and valley. Each of these periods has a different price for energy.

We explain what each one consists of:

  • Peak hours: Monday to Friday from 10:00h to 14:00h and from 18:00h to 22:00h. This is the most expensive time slot, so we recommend that you reduce your electricity consumption as much as possible during these hours of the day. Avoid using the appliances that consume the most during this period, in order to control the cost of your electricity bill.
  • Flat hours: Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 10:00, from 14:00 to 18:00 and from 22:00 to 00:00. In this slot, energy has an average price.
  • Off-peak hours: Monday to Friday, from 00:00h to 08:00h and 24 hours, Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. This is the period when electricity is the cheapest, so we recommend that you carry out those activities that require higher consumption during these hours (running the washing machine, dryer, dishwasher or oven).

Off-peak hours are periods when electricity is cheaper due to lower demand. With an indexed tariff, you can save considerably by consuming energy during these hours - perfect for running the washing machine or charging the electric car!

What can I do to save on my electricity bill?

To consume energy more responsibly and reduce the cost of electricity bills, we can adopt very simple habits in our daily lives. For example, unplug appliances when they are not in use, such as lights, computers, televisions, etc.

In addition, we recommend our Market Rate, which is an energy tariff that takes into account the cost of energy in the market .

Do you offer the social bonus?

No, for this you must go to a reference marketer.

If I have a breakdown, who should I contact?
