Electricity prices: Three tools for comparisons available to consumers
– 2024-05-05 23:46:25
The Waste, Energy and Water Regulatory Authority (RAAEF) has made three electricity and natural gas price comparison tools available to consumers, enabling them to make personalized comparisons (according to consumption profile, type of supply, etc.) as well as for overall supervision of the tariffs available in the market.
The ability to compare electric vehicle charging tariffs at publicly accessible chargers has recently been added to these tools.
Electricity and gas price comparison tools include;
-The www.energycost.gr. On this platform, consumers can easily compare all Electricity and Natural Gas tariffs that are commercially available in the Greek market, stating the characteristics of the supply (domestic, professional, communal, single-phase, three-phase, any inclusion in a Social Tariff). The application based on these characteristics ranks the available tariffs by reducing all charges (competitive and regulated) to a unique final charge price in euros per KWh.
The advantage of this tool is that it also includes charges for network, Utilities, etc. so that the consumer can see the real monthly charge.
The website also has the following features:
– Providing information about additional discounts, benefits, billing methods and contract terms for each compared invoice.
– Ability to compare either individual Electricity or Natural Gas tariffs or Combined products containing both services in one offer.
– Consumers are given the option to select from the available list the tariff they already have, even if it is no longer commercially available, and compare it with any other commercially available tariffs they wish.
In addition, for electricity invoices in particular, consumers can see every month the full list of all the current available invoices of all Suppliers and the corresponding color markings on the invoices.rae.gr website of the RAAEF.
On this website, consumers can see for each month separately from January when the implementation of the new framework began, the suppliers’ offers for all tariff categories (fixed, floating, special “green” tariff), the discounts that may be offered and the conditions under which they apply as well as the fixed charge. Prices are updated monthly based on vendor announcements of fee changes.
It is reminded that according to the current framework they are available three types of invoices as follows:
* Fixed (highlighted in blue) are fixed-term invoices, with a fixed billing price for the entire contract period.
* Fluctuating (yellow color), are the tariffs, which are linked to the wholesale price on the Energy Exchange. These are divided into two main categories: i. by setting a price in advance of the consumption period and ii. with a price fixed afterwards.
* Dynamic (orange), which refers to the possibility of dynamic pricing, with different prices – even during the day – based on market prices. A condition for the selection of these tariffs is the operation of a smart telemetered meter in the supply of consumers.
* And the special tariff (green) which facilitates the comparison of prices between providers as the charge price is announced on the 1st day of each month, on the websites of the providers and the Regulatory Authority. Thus, the consumer, household or business, knows, at the beginning of the month, what he pays to the electricity provider, the billing price for the month, and in addition the prices offered by all the other providers.
It is reminded that it remains possible to change the supplier without restrictions or “penalty” with the exception of contracts with a fixed price for a certain period of time for which compensation of the supplier applies in case of early withdrawal of the consumer.
The chargingcost.gr application
In addition, the electronic application chargingcost.gr was put into trial operation, which concerns the charging of electric vehicles and includes information on publicly accessible charging points throughout the country, as long as (as provided by the legislation) they are interconnected with the Register of Infrastructures and Electric Mobility Market Bodies of Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.
The trial operation of the chargingcost.gr application includes search filters based on the technical characteristics of charging, search based on geographical identification, comparison of results with the basic charging price euro/kWh of charging, mapping of the stations covering the technical characteristics of the vehicle on the map consumer in order to avoid redirection to points he cannot use. Also included is Route mode (start-destination with lower prices at compatible charging points)
The full version of the app will go live in June and will contain additional functionalities such as:
- Personalized information provision by simply entering the car make
- Comparison of Charge Prices based on total charges and incorporating time, tiered and fixed charges.
- Personalized search map
- Route Support with optimal total charging values.
In the event that a consumer has a problem with energy charges, regulated charges or any other issue concerning the Electricity or Natural Gas Supplier and the respective Distribution Network Operator, they can submit a complaint through the myrae.gr platform.
The complaint is automatically forwarded to the Supplier or Network Operator it concerns, while the information system provides information to the FSA on the progress of the request, which retains the possibility to intervene if deemed necessary.
After completing the examination of the complaint and in the event that the consumer is not satisfied with the answer he received, he has the possibility (as long as he is a domestic consumer), to appeal to the Energy Ombudsman who provides Alternative Dispute Resolution services through the ENOMOS platform.

Electricity prices: Three tools for comparisons available to consumers – 2024-05-05 23:46:25
BBVA analyzes a possible merger with Sabadell
Madrid. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) informed the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) that it had begun negotiations with the executives of Banco Sabadell for a hypothetical merger with the financial entity of Catalan origin, which would represent one of the strategic movements of greater relevance in the Spanish banking system.
This is the second time that BBVA has attempted to purchase Sabadell, one of the most prestigious banks in the select sector of commercial banking with high purchasing power and which has a presence in Spain and other countries, including prominently in Mexico.
In the letter, the financial entity warns that “BBVA confirms that it has appointed advisors for this purpose”, alluding to the intermediation for the negotiation of the consulting firms UBS and JP Morgan, while Garrigues would be in charge of legal advice on behalf of BBVA. .
The Catalan bank confirmed the interest and the maneuvers, in another relevant fact in which it reported that “Banco Sabadell confirms that it has received at 1:43 p.m. today an indicative written proposal from Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria for a merger. The Board of Directors of Banco Sabadell will adequately analyze all aspects of the proposal.”
The reaction of the markets to the hypothetical merger was immediate, in which Sabadell’s shares, which had been going through a day of slight declines, soared after the news was confirmed and reached a revaluation of around 6.5 percent, which places them at 1.85 euros. On the contrary, BBVA shares fell almost 6 percent.
If the operation goes ahead, the resulting entity would become the second banking group in Spain and the third in Europe, behind Santander and BNP Paribas. Taking Monday’s capitalization as a reference, the merged group would have a stock market value of around 70 billion euros.
It is not the first time that both entities have approached a merger operation, which they already attempted in 2020, when there was an approach that ended up being frustrated two weeks after the contacts became known. Both entities then announced the breakdown of talks. BBVA preferred not to give explanations, but Sabadell revealed that they had not reached an agreement on the final price of the operation.
