Gas rates

Comparing gas offers is the first step to finding the rate you're looking for: the one that gives you the highest-quality supply best suited to what your home or business really needs, at a fair and stable price that fits your budget.
Since the energy market was liberalised, we've had the advantage of choosing from a wide range of companies and rates, whether natural gas, renewable energy, dual rates with electricity, offers that can be revised downwards and, in general, cheaper ones when you compare prices. Taking advantage of these offers together with the benefits of our comparison tool lets you work out in seconds whether it's worth switching gas company or rate, without wasting time or doing any paperwork.

Types of gas rates on the market

To sign up for a gas supply for your home or business in Spain, you can choose the government-regulated rate or the rates offered by suppliers operating on the free market.
On the regulated marketrate, known as the Last Resort Rate (TUR) the price is set by the Government and is the same throughout the country. The authorised reference suppliers are the ones that supply gas to end consumers at the regulated wholesale market price.
By contrast, with free-market rates the gas price depends on the supplier and will be the one agreed in the gas contract with customers. To find the best gas supply rates, our comparison tool carries out a complete search for you in seconds among the wide range of offers available on the free market.

Cheapest gas rates

With the gas market open to competition, consumers have the advantage of benefiting from offers with more competitive services at lower prices and therefore signing up for the cheapest gas supply.
To sign up for the cheapest gas rate, you first need to make an estimate of the average annual usage your home or business needs. For homes and small premises with electric heating or for second homes, a rate with a maximum of 5,000 kWh a year will be enough. However, for homes with gas heating you'll need a band above 5,000 kWh a year, in which case you should choose the rate with the lowest price in the band required by the characteristics of the home and its usage.

Natural gas rates

Gas is an essential energy source in 40% of homes, mainly for cooking, hot water and heating. Normally, average use is 5.15% for cooking, 35.21% for heating water and 59.12% for heating, which is the main cost on the gas bill. That's why, in homes without gas heating, a rate in the RL1 band (below 5,000 kWh/year) will be enough, while homes with gas heating will need a rate from the RL2 band (up to 15,000 kWh/year).
If you have gas heating, as well as the rate price you should consider additional boiler maintenance, inspection and repair services, which can be cheaper when taken out together with the supply rate.

Banded rates

Gas supply is billed with a fixed charge and a variable charge divided into several bands, depending on your usage volume, as follows:

RL 1 band

For annual usage below 5,000 kWh a year. This is the band for homes without heating or with electric heating that only use gas for cooking and hot water.

RL 2 band

This band covers annual usage between 5,000 and 15,000 kWh. It is the most common for small homes with gas heating.

RL 3 band

It covers usage of between 15,000 and 50,000 kWh a year, and corresponds to large homes and small businesses.

RL 4 band

The last band covers usage above 50,000 kWh up to a limit of 300,000 kWh/year and usually applies to residents' associations with central heating and large companies.

Morning gas rate

Gas is billed in bands according to your annual usage, regardless of the time of day it is used. However, when personal or work schedules have a particular impact on the bill, an interesting option is to check dual offers in our comparison tool to sign up for gas and electricity together on the same rate, so you can take advantage of the discounted morning hours some suppliers offer.

Night rate

When choosing a rate that offers a particularly low price at night, it's essential to consider your usage habits and, in particular, whether at least 70% of your daily usage will mainly be at night from 22:00, Monday to Friday, and at any time on Saturdays and Sundays.
If not, it's better to look at other rates that offer a more stable price throughout the day, so you don't have to depend on a fixed schedule that, in return, means a higher price in the remaining non-discounted hours.
