In case anyone is interested, Starlink replied to my query...sympathising with me, but explaining that the fee was a tax by the Spanish Govt...could not be avoided...targetting anyone receiving data by satellite. It does not apply to terrestial internet providers.

That said, Starlink reception is fabulous...€49 a month incl the tax.

yeah...the starlink website isn't helpful regarding this fee. there are many spanish providers offering packages at €20 or so a month...I wonder how this fee affects them. i've googles searches such as "spanish internet regulatory fee" and found nada.

Starlink charge me €9 a month "regulatory fee" on top of my sub. I can't dig up much info on this fee on the web..I don't believe my last internet provider charged it... but perhaps it was buried..unitemised...in the sub. Can anyone throw any light, please?

Thanks everyone for contributions. I emailed Iberdrola last week...and to my surprise...they have been very prompt with answering...and telling me wehat to do...all in English.

"A document document is necessary to request the activation of the self-consumption modality. If your electrician is no longer available,the option would be for another installer to verify the installation and process the requested documentation. Any authorized installer in your area can arrange it for you."

With hindsight, our very charming...competent...installers were probably not "authorised" even though they supplied and fitted Victron and Pylontech equipment. When I've been chasing them they have obliquely replied that they will send someone around to sign off on the installation. All slowly makes sense. I suppose if they don't send someone around I'll have to eat some humble pie and ask another installer to come and authorise. One wouldn't have guessed any problems from our installers website...http://www.solytek.es/

Anyway...no money lost...the system works great...could have been a lot worse...
