(MENAFN) In spite of high interferences in Spain’s electricity markets, such as a limit on the price of gas, Spanish costumers are witnessing their month-on-month electricity bills surge quicker than many of their European peers.
Last month, average electricity bills were 60.6 percent in comparison with the year before in Spain, in line with Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) figures from Eurostat.
In Germany, as a comparison, which has been massively dependent on Russian gas, average electricity bills had only surged 16.6 percent in the same time span.
