Does the change affect only the regulated market or also the free market?
It affects both of us, and, therefore, it affects you too.
In addition to affecting the regulated market, free market marketers transfer the new tolls to their rates. And what does that entail? That all the tariffs that have come out so far have increased the price above the cost of the new toll to increase their margins.
Does the rate change affect me if I belong to the regulated market without time discrimination?
Yes, because all markets have adopted a single rate.
Your rate (and all of them) disappear and there will only be one: the 2.0TD, which will apply to anyone who is in the regulated market.
Can I take advantage of the new rates to change the power?
Yes, it's a good time to change the contracted power.
Normally, it is a management that has a cost: increasing the power costs €45 for every kW you raise it, while lowering the power costs you €11, no matter how much you lower it.
However, with the introduction of the new electricity rate, you have until May 2022 to do two free power changes and take the opportunity to adjust the contracted power during off-peak hours.
How to do it? In this post, you can find all the details about changing electrical power.

However, if you don't care about doing this type of task at any time of the day or on weekends, it pays more to have 3 prices.
It will also affect your level of consumption. So the most recommended thing is that you analyse your bills, compare prices and rates or that Ask an expert to do it for you.
