The average price of electricity in the wholesale market ('pool') will rise 3.4% this Tuesday and will reach 213.8 euros per megawatt hour (MWh), seven euros more than this Monday (206.62 euros), according to data collected by Servimedia from the Iberian Energy Market Operator (OMIE).

In this way, the price of electricity has chained two days above the level of 200 euros MWh after nine consecutive days below this threshold.

The maximum price of electricity will be counted this Tuesday between 8 and 9 in the morning, with 247.77 euros/MWh, while the minimum for the day, of 180.18 euros/MWh, will be recorded between 5 and 6 pm.

The 213.8 euros this Tuesday will mean 33 euros more than the 180.01 euros registered the previous Tuesday, and 14.6% more than what the 'pool' cost on the last day of April, 186.45 euros.

The prices of the 'pool' have a direct impact on the regulated rate -the so-called PVPC-, to which almost 11 million households in the country are covered, and serve as a reference for the other 17 million who have contracted their supply in the free market .
