Best Time to Use Electricity in Spain

Q: What is the best time to use electricity in Spain?

The best time changes every day. Power Window ranks the hourly PVPC prices published by Red Electrica and recommends the cheapest window for the selected duration and load.

Q: Can I use it for EV charging?

Yes. You can choose a car brand, model, battery size, current charge, target charge, and charger power to estimate the session length and find the cheapest PVPC window.

Q: Is the estimated cost a full electricity bill?

No. The app estimates the effect of shifting flexible usage. Fixed or editable items such as contracted power, taxes, retailer margin, and social-bonus cost are kept separate.
