Informative note: Territory Supplement of the Autonomous Community of 2013.

Electricity access tolls are part of the price of electricity, and are intended to cover different cost items in the electricity sector with regulated remuneration. Among others, they cover the cost of the activities of networks (transport and distribution of electric energy) and production from renewable energy sources, cogeneration and waste with primacy.

In 2013, the regulations contemplated that in the event that these electrical activities were taxed with autonomous taxes, the access toll would include a territorial supplement for consumers of that Autonomous Community, although said supplement was not approved by the government. In execution of the judgments1 of the Supreme Court issued as a result of the resources filed by companies that carry out their activity in the electricity sector, the Minister for Ecological Transition has approved a ministerial order with territorial supplements for their Autonomous Community that will be applied in upcoming invoices, on the consumption made in 2013.

Therefore, LUMISA will proceed to regularize the amounts resulting from the application of the value set as a territorial supplement of said Autonomous Community. This regularization will be applied to your invoice, and will be identified by the concept "Territorial supplement for autonomous taxes of the Autonomous Community [X] of the year 2013".

What is Logalty?

Logalty is the third trusted party that intervenes between the parties to a contract or online notification to guarantee and safeguard, in a neutral and independent manner, all the processes generated in the electronic transactions carried out.

In addition to guarantee the integrity of the process without taking into account, the content of the documents is secured before a notary.

Does the change of marketer have any cost?

The change of marketer has no cost. Although there is the possibility that your former marketer apply penalties for the breach of the contracting time, so it is advisable to consult the marketer if there is a penalty.

It is important that you do not confuse signing up with changing trades. The highs are for when there is no supply.

>Will I lose power during the change?

No. At no time or under any circumstances you will be without supply due to the change of marketer.

Could I go back to my company in case I change my mind?

Of course, you are free to leave since there is no commitment to stay.

If, once the change is made, you are not satisfied with our services, we will provide you with everything possible to complete the return process.

Is it necessary to make a change in my installation to change my sales company?

You do not need to make any changes to your meter or your installation. The change is administrative, so technically everything remains the same.

Do we necessarily have to change the electricity company?

The move to the liberalizes market necessarily means a change of company, but you can contract with a trading company of the same group as your current distribution company.

Will I have to continue paying a receipt to my previous company?

No. As of the date that the supply is with us, your previous company should not charge you any receipt with a later date. Although it is true that, although the collection is subsequent to the date of change, it may belong to a billing period prior to the date of change.

Can I have more than one supply contract? 

Of course, you can have as many supply contracts with us as you wish. For example, if you have a home address, rental location and company and you want to hire them with us, we will look for the rate that best suits each case, according to the need.

If I'm renting, can I switch to Lumisa?

Yes. As a tenant you have the right to choose the electric company that you prefer, in the same way that we choose the telephone company, cable television, internet, etc.

What is the difference between registering a supply and making a change in sales?

When we talk about registering, we refer to supplying a point where previously there was no light. In this case, you have to process the connection file directly with the distributor of your area to obtain the CUPS.

On the other hand, when we talk about a change of marketer, is when we already have electricity and is contracted with a company, but we want to go to another because they offer us better services or more competent prices, or because we make a change of owner and prefer a different marketer.

In "Difference between signing up and trading" we explain it in more detail.

What documentation do I need to register a new contract with Lumisa?

To register new supplies, it is necessary to provide technical documentation.

If it is a home:

1. If it is the first occupation, a Low Voltage Electrical Installation Certificate (CIEBT) stamped by an EIC or by the Department of Industry.

2. If it is a second occupation, if not, there is prior technical documentation for the installation: Recognition Bulletin of Low Voltage Electrical Installations, if the previous reduction is over 3 years. This document reflects the main characteristics of your installation, such as the installed power and the maximum admissible power, in addition to guaranteeing the quality of the installation. In the event that the power requested exceeds that allowed, you must provide us with a new Bulletin that you can request from your electrician installer.

On the contrary, if it is a local or common areas. According to current legislation, to contract a supply of electric power, the presentation of the following documents is required: Certificate of Electrical Installation in low tension, according to the type of supply, in triplicate copy, issued by the electrician installer who made it and sealed by the Competent Body of the Administration.

CIE = Certificate of Low Voltage Electrical Installation sealed by an EIC or by the Dpt. Of Industruia.
BRIE = Bulletin for the Recognition of Low Voltage Electric Insations.

Who can issue me the technical documentation?

An installation company or an authorized installer can issue you the technical documentation that certifies that the installation is correct for the discharge of the supply.

Who is responsible for registering new supplies?

The Distributor Company is responsible for supplying electricity to a point of supply without service, that is, it is responsible for reviewing all the technical documentation issued by the installation company, ensuring the safety of the supply point and placing the ICP and / or the relevant accountant.

They are also the ones that receive the cost that you have to pay for accessing the network. This cost is regulated by the State.

Does the registration of a supply point have a cost?

Registering an electricity supply or reactivating one that has not been used for more than 3 years has a cost regulated in Royal Decree 1995/2000 of December 1 that the distributor will charge you through Lumisa:

• Guarantee deposit: according to what is established in article 79 of Royal Decree 1955/2000, it is the amount to be delivered, at the time of contracting, for an amount equal to the monthly theoretical turnover corresponding to fifty hours of use of the contracted power. 
• Access rights: it is paid when contracting a new supply or by increasing the power of an existing supply with an amount of 19,703137 €/kW + VAT.
• Extension rights: it is paid when using the infrastructure of the distribution company in the case of new supplies, when the power contracted increases or if the supply point has not been used for more than 3 years with an amount of 17.374714 €/kW + VAT.
• Engagement rights: it is paid when using the infrastructure of the distribution company in the case of new supplies, when the contracted power goes up or if the supply point has not been used for more than 3 years with an amount of ​9.04€ + VAT.
• Verification rights: paid when carrying out the installation review with an amount of 8.01€ + VAT. 

How long does it take to register the light?

As soon as we have all the required documentation, the Distributor takes a maximum of 5 working days to activate a low voltage supply point.

What is the difference between a distributor and a marketer?

To know how the electric sector works, let's start from the beginning.

The producers are responsible for producing energy. In our country there are different production plants such as:

• Conventional thermal power plants
• Nuclear power plants
• Or alternative energies such as wind farms, photovoltaic power plants.

- The carriers are responsible for the transport of energy in high voltage, in our country is the Electrical Network of Spain (REE).

- The distributors, remain regulated by the State, and are responsible for maintenance and the different areas of the country

And finally here we enter the marketers like Lumisa, who are in charge of buying the energy and billing it to their consumers using the distribution networks.

Who is responsible for grounding or PAT?

The grounding, also known as grounding (PAT) is an essential installation in an electrical installation as it guarantees safety and avoids serious consequences to people and electrical equipment.

The installation of the earth connection is the responsibility of the customer, and must ensure that its electrical installation is adequate and at the same time, an authorized technician must certify it through the Electrical Bulletin.

What is the discharge of work or provisional light?

The provisional facilities are those that have, in time, a duration limited to the circumstances that motivate them. They are provided for in Royal Decree 842/2002, of August 2, which approves the low voltage electrotechnical regulation. They may be:

1.- Repair. Those necessary to alleviate an exploitation incident.

2.- Work. Those made to allow changes or transformations of the facilities, without interrupting the operation.

3.- Semi-permanent. Those destined to modifications of limited duration, within the framework of habitual activities of the premises in which they are repeated periodically (Fairs).

4.- Of works. They are intended for the execution of construction work for buildings and the like.

If you want to make a construction from scratch, or some major reform and want to hire electricity only to carry out the construction, it is not necessary that you hire a common Light Rate but that the Distributor Companies have a special type of new high for these cases.

But if you prefer you can also do it through our telephone number 900 811 473 or our e- mail atcliente@lumisa.es.

How can I make a change of owner? 

In order to make a change of ownership, keep in mind that:

• The change is always requested by the new owner.
• The new owner becomes responsible for the invoices.
• The amount of the first is calculated pro rata.
• We do not charge to change the owner, but in some cases you may have to pay your distribution company.

The request to change the holder can be processed online in a very fast and simple way through the web. You only need to have on hand a recent invoice, the bank account and theDNI of the new owner.

If you want to discuss it in more detail, we have an article in our blog  "Make a change of holder of the light" with the step by step to follow.

Can I change the contracted Power?

If possible. If you never "jump the leads" you probably have room to lower the power; If, on the other hand, they skip you often, you are already at your limit. In the event that you add new appliances or increase the use, you will probably have to contact your electricity company to consider an increase in power.

Following Royal Decree-Law 15/2018 on urgent measures for the energy transition and consumer protection, it will be possible to contract the power in 0.1 kW sections, with the elimination of the normalized tranches that limited the contracting to these values.

What is the right power for me?

The power you need will be determined by several factors. A very intuitive way to know if our power is inadequate is the following:

1. Turn on all the appliances in your house at once. If the leads do not jump, it means that surely you have a power over what you need and you have some margin to decrease it.

2. If the daily use of your electrical appliances frequently leaps house leads, is that the power you are using is too short, and you will have to expand it to enjoy more comfort.

See our article "What is the most suitable power for me?" that will solve your doubts on this topic.

How can I request a power change?

To make a change of power you must fill out the power change form on this link.

It will only be necessary that you have at hand:

• - Address of the owner of the electricity supply.
• - Personal data of the administrator.
• - Current and new contracted power.
• - CUPS, which appears on any invoice.

In the same way, you can contact us via email at atcliente@lumisa.es requesting a power change request form. Once it is filled out and signed, it will be resent to the same email for the start of the management.

How much does it cost to change the contracted power?

If it is a reduction of the power you will have to pay a small cost of € 9.04 plus VAT due to the entitlement rights.

On the other hand, if it is an increase in contracted power, the expense will be higher since they must be paid:

- Right of access with an amount of € 19,703137 / kW requested plus VAT.

- Extension fee with an amount of € 17,374,714 / kW requested plus VAT.

- Engaging right with an amount of € 9.04 plus VAT.

The change of power supposes a cost for the user of the point of supply since it will have to pay a series of rights and managements carried out by the Distributor, which will be passed on in a single invoice.

If you want to know more about this, here is the article "Lower the power to save. Yes or no?".

Can I change the power as many times as I want?

The Distributor only allows to process a power change once a year. Therefore, if in less than one year the change is requested again, it will be denied and they will have to wait for the indicated time to make a new modification.

What rates does Lumisa offer?

Lumisa offers Rates with or without Discrimination, which can be adapted to your needs.

• Winter period:

• Rate 2.0
• Rate 2.0DHA
• Rate 2.1A
• Rate 2.1DHA
• Rate 3.0A

What is the difference between the tariffs with discrimination or without time discrimination?

Rates with time discrimination are those that vary according to the period or time slot and its consumption.

The periods in the Rates with Discrimination 2.DHA and 2.1DHA are:

• Point (P1). It is the day period, also known as the most expensive period.
• Valley (P2). It is the nocturnal and most economical period.

In the same way, in the Tariff with Time Discrimination 3.0A it is divided into:

• Point (P1). It is the day period, also known as the most expensive period.
• Plain (P2). It is the period with intermediate price.
• Valley (P3). It is the nocturnal and most economical period.

Without discrimination, it is a fixed price 24 hours a day.

Where can I find the schedule of each electricity tariff? 

As established in Order ITC / 3801/2008 of December 26, the schedule is regulated as follows:

Rates with time discrimination: different price according to time zone. There are three schedules according to the time of day:

• Tip: It is the time period with the highest price since it is the most requested.
• Valle: The period with the lowest price.
• Llano: The hour period with an intermediate price.

Time discrimination also varies slightly according to the time of year and the power of the tariff.

- Rates 2.0DHA (less than 10 kW) and 2.1DHA (between 10 kW and 15 kW):

• In summer: Valley (23h-13h) Punta (13h-23h).
• In winter: Valle (22h-13h) Punta (13h-22h).

- Rate 3.0A (from 15 kW):

• In summer: Valley (23h-9h), Punta (12h-15h), Llano (9h-12h / 15h-23h).
• In winter: Valley (1h-9h), Punta (18h-22h), Llano (9h-18h / 22h-1h).

Rates without time discrimination: the same price throughout the day.

In an article "What is the most suitable power for me?" that we explain in detail.

Can the prices of the rates change?

Lumisa will not change the price of the rates for one year from the entry into force of the contract with you. Of course, these prices, apart from Lumisa's marketing margin, also contain costs regulated by the State.

If the State, through the publication of a BOE decides to change or update these costs, these will be passed on to our prices.

Can I change Rate?

Yes, it is possible to make a rate change with us. The cost of the rate change is:

• Between 10 € to 25 € of management by Lumisa.
• 9.04 € plus VAT pertaining to the right of attachment by the Distributor.

How can I find out which is the most suitable rate for me?

The most suitable rate for you, will depend on the type of supply, if it is a house, the type of housing, the people residing in it and what they spend, a small room, a large company, etc.

If you have any questions about which to hire, do not hesitate to contact us and we will assist you via telephone 900 811 473 or e-mail atcliente@lumisa.es.

What is the telemanagement counter?

Telemanagement is an intelligent reader of electricity consumption that can be replaced by traditional electric meters. Its advantages, among others, are that it can read consumption remotely, make real readings, faster incidents.

The Royal Decree 1110/20017, Order ITC 3860/2007 and IET 290/2012 which obliges the distribution companies to replace the current meters, with power less than or equal to 15 kW for meters with telemanagement capacity before 2018.

What is the cost of meter rental?

The cost of renting equipment is set by the Ministry of Energy, Tourism and Digital Agenda, which is regulated by Order IET / 1491/2013, of August 1, which reviews the electric power access toll.

Therefore, the marketer will charge the rental of equipment, although it really is a payment that is paid to the distributor because it is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the same.

These prices will depend not only on the price of the equipment but also on the costs associated with its installation and maintenance. Therefore, the average cost for renting domestic light meters is € 0.81 for single-phase meters with time discrimination and with the possibility of telemanagement. And € 1.36 for three-phase meters with time discrimination and with the possibility of telemanagement.

Who will come to read my accountant?

According to Royal Decree1718 / 2012 of December 28, it is established that the reading of the energy will be performed by the person in charge of the reading, that is, the Distribution Company with a bimonthly periodicity, which will be brought to the marketing company's knowledge.

In the case of having an intelligent meter or telemetry, the reading will be done on a monthly basis.

How can I read my meter reading?

To visualize the reading of your meter you will have to follow a series of steps:

1. It will be necessary to identify your accountant. For that, you have to find the counter number that appears on your invoices.

2. You must identify the access rate to know how many reading periods you have to read:

• 2.0A - one period
• 2.1A - a period
• 2.0DHA - two periods
• 2.1DHA - two periods
• 3.0A - three periods

3. We will see an identification code for each rate.

What is estimated reading? 

If the Distributor Company in charge of reading your electricity consumption can not access the measurement equipment to carry out said management, you must give a notice of impossible reading in which you indicate a telephone number and a web address where you can facilitate the reading of your team and a deadline.

Therefore, if you do not facilitate the reading of your meter within the indicated period, the Distributor can estimate the electricity consumption. The estimated reading is a calculation made by the distributor of the period consumption, which has not been possible, from the actual reading from your accountant.

The Distributor makes the estimate as close as possible to the real monthly consumption of the client. However, if it has been estimated more as if it has been estimated less, it will be regularized with the actual readings in the next invoice and with the price corresponding to each period.

How can I contribute my meter reading?

If you wish to have a real monthly reading it will be necessary that you send us the reading by calling us at 900 811 473 or through the  mail atcliente@lumisa.es to provide us with the reading.

We will need to identify your supply point, so it is also necessary that you indicate the CUPS number, Universal code of the supply point.

What is ICP?

ICP stands for Power Control Switch. The ICP controls the power consumed. Therefore, if the power consumed is higher than the contracted one, it starts operating by cutting off the power supply.

What is a maximeter?

The maximeter is a device that measures the maximum power of all the powers between periods of 15 minutes of an electrical supply for contracted powers greater than 15 kW. Record the parameters of:

• Active Energy (kW)
• Reactive Energy (KVArh)
• Maximum power used (kW)

Unlike the IPC, it avoids cutting the power supply in the case of exceeding the contracted power.

I have acquired my own energy meter. How can I change it? or vice versa.

At Lumisa, we manage to register the Customer Energy Meter, providing the technical documentation of the Energy Meter.

The technical documentation of the Energy Meter will be provided by the brand. However, if you have lost it or do not currently have it, it can be requested again at a cost of € 60 and by sending a photograph of the Energy Meter placed by an authorized installer.

Once registered, in Lumisa the change is requested from the Distributor and it will be reflected in your electricity bill through the Energy Meter number.

How is the invoice sent?

You can choose the shipping method, between the shipment by postal mail to your point of supply or fiscal address. Or by email you provide us.

In the same way, if you join Lumisa and you register in the Client Zone you will be able to visualize all your already issued invoices and download them whenever you want.

How can I consult any questions about my invoice?

What happens if I exceed the power contracted on my electricity bill?

In the Tariffs with power lower than 15 kW, the power control is carried out by means of ICP. Therefore, if we exceed the contracted power, we will only be without power until we reactivate the light again.

However, for supply points with contracted power exceeding 15 kW where the Maximeter is used, the law contemplates a penalty for contracted excess power.

Three assumptions can be made, according to Royal Decree 1164/2001, of October 26, which establishes access tariffs for the transmission and distribution networks of electric energy, depending on the maximum power demanded with respect to the contracted :

• Less than 85%: If the maximum power demanded in the period to be billed is less than 85 percent of the contracted power, the power to be billed will be equal to 85 percent of said contracted power.
   
• Between 85 and 105%: If the maximum power demanded, registered in the billing period, is within 85 to 105 percent of the contracted, said power registered will be the power to be billed. The maximum power that has been demanded will be billed, exactly the one reflected by the maximeter.
   
• Greater than 105%: If the maximum power demanded, registered in the billing period, is greater than 105% of the contracted power, the power to be billed in the period considered will be equal to the value recorded plus double the difference between the registered value and the value corresponding to 105 percent of the contracted power.

 What happens if I do not pay my electricity bill in the term?

In most cases the payment of electricity is usually made by direct debit. In this case, if the payment is made late, LUMISA will proceed to notify payment of the same by mail and burofax. 

In case of non-payment by the Client LUMISA may process, in accordance with current regulations, the suspension of the supply if twenty (20) calendar days have elapsed since the payment had been required, through presentation to the collection to the financial institution where the Client has domiciled the payment of the invoice or through the deposit into account of the bank accounts provided to the Client, and this would not have been paid in full.

What is the power term?

The power term in the electric bill is the price that the user pays for this contracted power, which is multiplied by the number of kilowatts (kW). It is a fixed concept that has to be paid even if no consumption is made.

What is the term of energy?

The term of energy is the variable cost according to the consumption made. It is the result of multiplying the energy consumed during the billing period corresponding to the price of the term of the contracted energy.

What is the Tax on electricity?

The Special Tax on Electricity falls on the consumption of electricity and taxes the supply of electric energy for electric consumption, as well as the consumption by the producers of that electricity generated by them. The percentage of this tax is 5,113%, applied to the power term and the consumption term.

The proceeds from the Electricity Tax are allocated to public funds, in charge of sectors such as health or education.

What are access tolls?

It is the amount destined to the Distributor when using its electrical networks and transfer energy to your point of supply.

What is the management of non-payment?

This is the amount related to the actions carried out by the Marketer made on the basis of unpaid bills within the period established in the General Conditions.

What is the Electronic Billing service?

The electronic billing service allows you to access the contents of your invoice online in electronic format, at no additional cost. The electronic invoice collects the same data as the invoice you receive on paper and can display it with the same appearance.

You will receive your invoice by email in PDF format and you can view it and download it to your computer at any time.

Consult the General Conditions of the Electronic Billing service.

How do you access the Electronic Invoice?

The registration in the Electronic Billing service will be done through the Contracting form by express acceptance of the receipt of the invoices through the email provided by the client.

If you wish to receive the paper invoice again, you can request it by sending an email to atcliente@lumisa.es.

What can I do if I run out of light? 

In this case, we recommend that you verify that you are not the only point of supply without service. If there are more neighbors without service, you have to call the distribution telephone number to communicate the incident, since in this case the fault is in the external network.

If you are the only one affected, it means that the fault is inside your facilities. In this case, you have to call an electrician for repair and distribution without the person in charge of the incident.

You can find more detailed information in the article "Steps to follow in the event of a breakdown in the electric current".

What should I do if the power supply is interrupted with the new meter?

If once activated the power control by your Distributor "leapt" the leads, it is because the power demanded exceeds the power currently contracted. And therefore the new device would interrupt temporarily the power supply.

In order to restore it immediately you must follow a series of steps:

1. Disconnect any of the appliances, since the contracted power limits the amount of appliances that we can connect at the same time.

2. Open the electrical panel and check that all switches are raised, including the general.

3. If one is down, it is possible that you have some problem in your installation. In this case, we recommend that you consult with an authorized installer.

4. Turn down the main switch and wait for 3 seconds. After this time, upload it again.

5. In case the power supply is not restored, wait a few minutes and repeat the previous steps. The normal thing is that you have electricity again. If this is not the case, it may be a programmed cut or a fault.

If once you have made these simple steps, you continue to lose power often, you most likely have to increase the power contracted by contacting your dealer. Or it may also be due to a fault in your installation, so you should contact an authorized installer.

What happens if I run out of light due to Non-payment?

As the General Conditions specify, in case of non-payment by the Client, LUMISA may process, in accordance with current regulations, the suspension of the supply if twenty (20) calendar days have elapsed since the payment had been required, through presentation to the collection to the financial institution where the Client has domiciled the payment of the invoice or through the deposit into account of the bank accounts provided to the Client, and this would not have been paid in full.

If, in spite of our legally foreseen initiatives, the payment of the pending invoices is not made within the legally foreseen term and with a legally foreseen notice of 5 calendar days, the power supply in question will be cut off.

Once the cut has been sent to the Distributor in your area, in order to re-discharge the light, the invoices pending payment previously required must be paid. That is why once we receive the payment of the same the electricity supply will be resumed in 24 hours, having to pay the reconnection rights to the network, billed by the Distributor of your area in the next invoice.

If after more than two months and the amount of the pending invoices has not been paid, you will be definitively discharged.

Why is a file opened at a point of supply?

It is due to an anomaly detected in the meter, that is, it stops recording the kW consumption or part of it. In order to clarify what happens the company opens the file to go to check the measurement equipment and see if it is due to technical failure or possible fraud.

If I receive a letter opening a file of fraud or anomaly of measurement that I must do? 

When there is an irregularity in your consumption and you see a lot of disparity between the kW consumed and those invoiced, a file is opened to investigate what may have happened and if the possible fraud is real.

In the case of receiving a letter of this type you will have to contact the distributor, their number and different ways of contact will appear in the same letter. They will inform you of what you have to do to manage your case.

The marketers here can not do anything and you will have to process everything on your own

What does it mean to normalize the supply?

Once the file has been processed, if fraud has been found, the corresponding fine will have to be paid and then the supply will be standardized in accordance with current legal regulations.

Normally, the meter is paid as rental of measure month by month, if it is that way, the distribution company must proceed to normalization to update it.

Otherwise, if you have an own accountant, the work necessary for this will be carried out by the user, and the distributor must be notified once it has been finalized so that the latter can verify it.

When is everything already in order how do I restore the supply?

You have to go to your marketer who will inform you how to pay the amount that corresponds to the amount of kW you received in the first letter.

When paying, will proceed to restore the electricity supply normally.

• Real Decreto 244/2019, de 5 de abril, por el que se regulan las condiciones administrativas, técnicas y económicas del autoconsumo de energía eléctrica.

What is energy self-consumption?

Self-consumption is the consumption by one or more consumers of electrical energy from generation facilities connected within a consumer's network or through a direct line of electrical energy associated with a consumer.

However, the simplified compensation system for electric self-consumption has not yet been activated in practice at Lumisa.

What are the modes of self-consumption that I can use?

As established in article 9 of Law 24/2013, of December 26, on the Electricity Sector, and again contained in article 4 of Royal Decree 244/2019, of April 5, two types of self-consumption are distinguished:

1.- Modalities of supply with self-consumption without surpluses. When it is a consumer who had a generation facility, destined for their own consumption, connected inside the network of their supply point and that was not registered in the corresponding register as a production facility. In this case there will be a single subject, which will be the consumer subject. In these modalities, an anti-aging mechanism that prevents the injection of excess energy into the transport or distribution network must be installed.

2.- Modalities of supply with self-consumption with surpluses. In the case of a consumer associated with a production facility duly registered in the administrative register of electrical energy production facilities connected within its network. In this case there will be two subjects, the consumer subject and the producer. In these modalities, the next and associated production facilities for consumption may, in addition to supplying energy for self-consumption, inject excess energy into the transport and distribution networks. In turn, it is divided into two modalities:

2.1.- Modality with surpluses under compensation. Those supplies with self-consumption with surpluses in which the consumer and the producer voluntarily choose to benefit from a surplus compensation mechanism. To belong to this modality it will be necessary that they meet a series of requirements:

o The primary energy source is of renewable origin.
o The total power of the associated production facilities does not exceed 100 kW.
o That the consumer has signed a single supply contract for the associated consumption, and for auxiliary production consumptions with a marketing company, if necessary.
o The consumer and producer have signed a self-consumption surplus compensation contract.
o The production facility does not have an additional or specific remuneration regime granted.

2.2.- Modality with surpluses not receiving compensation. Those cases of self-consumption with surpluses that do not meet any of the requirements to belong to the modality with surpluses under compensation or who voluntarily choose not to qualify for said modality

What is the difference between individual self-consumption and collective self-consumption?

Additionally, the law establishes another classification of self-consumption. Therefore, self-consumption can be classified as individual or collective depending on whether it is one or more consumers who are associated with the generation facilities.

Collective self-consumption is that by means of which a group of several consumers who feed themselves, in an agreed way of electrical energy that comes from production facilities close to those of consumption and associated to them. In this case, all participating consumers who are associated with the same generation facility must belong to the same type of self-consumption and communicate individually the same agreement signed by all participants that includes the distribution criteria.

Can you sell surplus energy?

Yes, the surplus energy can be sold, according to the provisions of Royal Decree 244/2019, of April 5. The requirement for its sale is that it must be under the mode of supply with self-consumption with surpluses not under compensation and the same standards as any electric power production plant will apply.

What is the simplified compensation mechanism?

In the mode of supply with self-consumption with surpluses, the producer may sell the surplus energy or benefit from the simplified compensation mechanism.

The simplified compensation mechanism is designed for small renewable consumers of up to 100 kW and can compensate in their bill the energy consumed through the network with the excess energy they have not consumed. It will consist of a balance in economic terms of the energy consumed in the billing period, which:

1.- If you have a contract with a free marketer the hourly energy consumed from the network and the surplus will be valued at the agreed hourly price between the parties.

2.- If you have a voluntary supply contract for the small consumer with a reference marketer:

• o The hourly energy consumed from the network will be valued at the hourly energy cost of the voluntary price for the small consumer in each hour.
• o The excess hourly energy will be valued at the average hourly price.

What requirements must I meet for the simplified compensation mechanism?

Those who:

• - Are associated to production facilities whose power does not exceed 100 kW.
• - The generation is of renewable origin.
• - Production plants do not have an additional or specific remuneration regime.

This mechanism is not limited to individual self-consumption, but is also applicable to collective self-consumption.
