Electricity

Most electricity in this area is supplied by Iberdrola. Bills are paid every two months.

If you rent a property it’s likely that the owner will keep the electricity in their name and pay the bills and then you will pay the owner or the estate agent.

If you own your property you will need to sign a contract with your electricity supplier and prove your identity. Your estate agent may assist you with this. Make sure all previous bills have been paid.

Always check meter readings to ensure you’re not being overcharged as sometimes your bill will be estimated.

If you’re told by an estate agent or previous owner that you are on a ‘builder’s electricity’ supply and will get free electricity be very cautious. This usually applies to new properties that haven’t yet been registered with the electricity company for domestic use. If you’re lucky you might get away with it for a while but be warned that things usually catch up and you are likely to be presented with a large back-dated bill. It’s better to be up front and ensure the electricity is registered in your name as soon as possible.

The main electricity supply in Spain is 220 volts and most UK appliances will run on this with an adaptor. However, some older properties still only have a 110 volt supply. They weren’t designed for the many modern appliances that we like to use these days and the electricity does have a habit of tripping if you use several appliances at once. So if you live in an older house with a 110 volt supply don’t expect to run the dishwasher, cooker and hairdryer all at once.

If you want to update your electricity supply or install more sockets always use a qualified and reputable electrician.

If you’re buying a property with no electricity supply but the neighbours do have one don’t assume you’ll be able to run off the same supply. You many find you have to pay thousands of euros to get connected.
