According to the consumer protection group Facua-Consumidores en Acción the price of electricity has increased significantly.

Figures show that families are now paying €400 more for electricity than they were 10 years ago for exactly the same amount of energy. A spokesman for the group this week said electricity charges went up by 76% between 2005 and 2015 and blamed the ‘enormous’ rise on successive governments setting their policies according to the interests of big energy companies.
