FACUA-Consumidores en Acción warns that the "15% discount that Endesa is offering in electricity consumption during April and May with the excuse of the state of alarm is a customer loyalty strategy to prevent them from changing companies, but not it causes their rates to be lower than the semi-regulated PVPC price. "
"After the discount, the price of each kWh consumed with the Endesa One rate is 28% more expensive than that of the Voluntary Price for Small Consumers (PVPC) so far in April, as revealed by the analysis carried out by FACUA ", denounces the consumer association in a statement.
The Endesa One rate is 15.25 cents per kWh (including indirect taxes). If its customers request the 15% discount (the company is not automatically applying it to everyone, but only to those who request it through its website), the price remains at 12.96 cents. It is still much more expensive than the PVPC, which between April 1 and 24 has been an average of 10.13 cents, criticizes the consumer association.
"If the monthly invoice of an average user is compared with the Endesa One rate once the discount has been applied compared to another with the PVPC, the difference is more than 10 euros. Thus, a user who consumes 366 kWh per month and has a contracted power of 4.4 kW pays 75.01 euros with the Endesa One rate before the discount and 66.63 euros if requested, meanwhile, if the user contracts the PVPC with one of the reference marketers to the that the Government forces to apply the semi-regulated rate, it would pay 56.26 euros (based on the prices so far in April), "he concludes.
