The average electricity price on the wholesale market (pool) will rise one step further tomorrow, Tuesday. For the first time since 2022, it will be above EUR 200 per megawatt hour (MWh). 

In particular, it will increase by 2.6% compared to the current day and will cost €201.99 per megawatt hour, according to data published by the Iberian Energy Market Operator (OMIE).

Since December 5, 2022, electricity has not been so high as 209.3 euros/MWh. 

According to industry sources, the rise is due to increased demand and higher gas prices.
