Iberdrola reported this Friday that customers’ electricity bills will fall by an average of 15% in 2023, noting that this reduction “applies to energy components and access costs”.
“Of course, taxes, fees and other values determined by the state are excluded,” Iberdrola added in a statement.
Taking into account the “volatility of energy purchase costs, the recent proposal to review the tariffs for access to the networks for 2023 and the company’s continued commitment to the development of green energy production infrastructures, Iberdrola can guarantee stability and predictability for consumers in this context of inflation and geopolitical uncertainty in Europe,” the company said.
Iberdrola “also maintains all discounts related to contracts already in progress”.
According to the electricity company, “the revision of values for a household with two people and an average consumption of 1,900 kWh corresponds to an average decrease of five euros / month” (before fees, taxes and other costs).
“With prices effective from January 1, 2023, Iberdrola offers its customers a way to safely navigate the instability that dominates the energy market,” said Rui Afonso, general manager of Iberdrola Clientes Portugal, quoted in Communicated.
This measure “returns to the liberalized market the strength and competitiveness expected of it and to the benefit of consumers. Together with Iberdrola’s priority investment in energy transition and decarbonisation, we do not neglect the immediate needs of consumers” , he adds. .
“If we understand the factors that contribute to the current energy scenario and the constraints imposed on commercialization companies, we can guarantee a year without accidents on the household bill,” concludes Rui Afonso.
Iberdrola points out that “during this period of inflation and uncertainty in the markets, as well as during the pandemic period”, the company “protected jobs, continued to adopt and maintain its investment plans in Portugal” and also increased “guarantee purchases from suppliers to jobs and increase the activity of partner companies”.
