Hi Everyone,
A couple of months ago I re-established electricitysupply to my property in Spain and after the usual reconnection/new contract fee I have been receiving bills of over EUR100 per month for the past two months.
The property was unoccupied during this period so I was completely surprised that my monthly bill in Spain is close to my annual bill in my flat in the UK. When I spoke to a representative at the local Endesa office, I was told that the high charge is due to the fact that I cave 3-phase supply to the property, as opposed to single-phase power. The 3-phase supply can deliver a maximum power of 10,392 kW.
Still, regardless of the phase of the power, I don't understand why the rate is so high even when no power is drawn. They say that if I change to a lower power rating then it may be that certain appliances will not work in the flat.
The power to my UK flat is single-phase and I don't think I suffer from the absence of appliances that operate at a higher power rating.
I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.
Kind regards,
Gary
