We are going to explain how to receive alerts on the daily price of electricity on your mobile , with the time slots and prices of each day in Spain. As costs have skyrocketed in recent times, this daily ad will help us consume electricity when it is cheapest.
We have already explained how to know the price of electricity with apps or websites, but email alerts save us from the daily work of consulting the information. Every day we receive a notice at 9:00 p.m. with the prices of the light of the next day , by sections of each hour, since it is the moment in which the costs of the Spanish electricity market are fixed.
We have chosen the daily price alerts from tarifaluzhora.es because they work well and are free. The company itself is in the business of making offers to switch electric companies, but we will not be bothered with commercial “spam” unless we expressly agree to receive advertising.
Receiving an email is less invasive than installing an app on the mobile that sends notifications, and in this way we can also see the alerts on a computer or other devices.
These are the steps to follow for discharge:
- We will access the following link to indicate the email where to receive the alerts and click “Accept”:
Web: Light price alerts (Tarifaluzhora)
- They also ask us for our name to personalize the light price alerts, we can really put any:
- Then they ask us if we have a social electricity bonus applied to the bill:
- They propose to receive an offer to change the electricity rate , where a commercial will call us by phone, we can click on “No” and they will not bother us:
- They will also propose to us to receive more information about the electricity market in Spain, just choose “Only inform the prices daily in the mail” to have the electricity alerts:
- Finally we will click on “I accept” regarding the privacy policy and click on “Send” :
- We will receive a daily email at around 9:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time), the header includes a summary of the prices of the following day:
- The most interesting thing is the table with the prices of electricity per hour , which allows you to choose the most economical sections for electricity consumption:
If we accept to receive offers to improve the price of electricity, we must bear in mind that the salesperson has an economic interest in changing the company. In addition, the cheapest price is usually the PVPC (voluntary price for the small consumer) regulated by the Government, instead of the free market rates that they will offer us.
Our advice is to be cautious with any proposal, although it is true that the alerts are free for the commercial aspect.
We choose not to receive advertising and, after several weeks of use, we have only received the daily alerts, without any additional communication. Of course, the message brings several links to obtain a “fixed” price of electricity through the company.
This daily notice by email of the price of electricity is very convenient , the format adapts to mobile phones, but we can also view it on other devices. In addition, there are more tools to save on electricity, such as knowing the price of light by asking Alexa.
