Until the crisis came the certainty that the price of homes is down never had. Pricked the housing bubble, that certainty has now moved to the light , even though the recession has eroded domestic economies and consumption hit its quarter -to-quarter price. In 2014 he beat records. If the government does not intervene , the next January consumers will face a record increase in electricity bills of around 11 % , the biggest rise since the current system was introduced in which a portion of the fee set by the Ministry of Industry and other depends on a bid auction in which power companies.

The government seems willing to stop the uncomfortable rise , which has been criticized in every corner , political and social . President Mariano Rajoy , asked about the issue of rate hikes on the summit of European heads of state attending the Thursday in Brussels , said: "It will try to fix it ," said Miguel Gonzalez.
That auction , held on Thursday , showed an unexpected increase of 26.5% , which will affect the final bill paid by consumers with an increase of 10.5 %. If you add the other part of the bill, the regulated party setting the government and which are estimated at less than 1% , the electricity bill will go up in early 2014 at around 11 %.
That means exorbitant rise in practice , a challenge to the Executive the power sector, which has been frustrated in their wishes to acknowledge the 3,600 million euro of the call tariff deficit . And the government will have to respond to that challenge with a decree to reform the auction system and invalidate the results of the last bid to avoid having such disproportionate impact on the receipt , as noted in the Executive nearby sources. The decree , as a matter of urgency, expected to be approved in the Council of Ministers to be held this Friday.
This is the fourth consecutive rise in the price of light after the revisions that took place in October ( 3.1%), August ( 3.2%) and July ( 1.2%) and fifth in one year, if taking into account the last January ( 3%). In the whole of 2013 , rates increase moderated to 4.5 % on average due to the revision in April was a decrease of 6.7%. Including rise next January , electricity prices increased 70% in the last five years, with the crisis that has left through battered domestic economies.
The result of the auction , which became known by mid-morning , sparking a huge stir in both the social and political levels . Consumer organizations clamored against this new " electric heist " that " turns the light into a luxury item ." In the House of Representatives , all opposition parties signed a declaration pledging to repeal the reform when they have a majority. In the parliamentary brawl and social alarm, the Government was forced to appear . Industry Minister Jose Manuel Soria, would not discuss handling but branded as "unacceptable" the auction because the results that have come out of it do not match wholesale prices in recent days .
An urgent decree will prevent a repeat of the exorbitant hike
In addition , industry has urged the National Stock Market Commission of Competition ( CNMC ) to us within 24 hours to issue an urgent opinion on the auction and ascertain whether it has been manipulated by utilities and financial brokers to artificially raise the price of electricity . Despite the trappings of the statement, in fact, it is a proceeding contained in a ministerial decree of 2009 , which requires the CNMC to validate the results of all auctions to ensure they have been clean.
On this occasion, and to justify their derogatory decree , the Executive has an interest in the CNMC , which has never invalidated any auction , publicly on its investigations. And so it seems that will happen. The CNMC has found evidence of "irregularities" in the auction even ask for more time to investigate what happened and make a decision , reported by industry sources.
If irregularities are proven , the auction will be void and another would be convened . That is, the rate hikes would slow down , and the government could appear as the guarantor of the rights of citizens selling a limited increase , as was expected of between 5% and 7% before the auction .
Competition research sector for possible price manipulation
Consumer organizations , traders and large customers suspect that since this system that wholesale prices are artificially raised by large companies in the days before the auction to get a higher rate was established. In this case, costs have increased by technical stop three nuclear ( Vandellós , Trillo and Almaraz ) and limited production of hydraulic and wind power (although at this time are usually fully operational ) , which has production made between coal and gas, the most expensive to produce .
Although traditionally government and blame themselves of higher electric light , this time have allied unfortunately for the consumer's pocket . The Executive because, contrary to what was promised , has decided to raise tolls electric , regulated portion covering costs such as transportation , distribution, renewable raw power and debt, and having a weight of 55% in the final bill . After the auction, the government has decided to lower the impact on the receipt of his rise to less than 1% .
The quarterly auction called Cesur , and concurring with, among others , responsible for the regulated power supply (Endesa , Gas Natural Fenosa , Iberdrola, E.ON and HC ) , contributes approximately 45% of the receipt. As before , prices in the wholesale electricity market (pool ) increased dramatically in the days before the auction. Finally, he shot up to 61.83 euros per megawatt / hour ( MWh ) , an increase of 25.6%, and well above the 47.58 euros that marked the previous auction in September.
Electric silent. The president of Iberdrola, Ignacio Galan, saying only that he " was worried " by the rise , reports Juan Manuel Xativa . Galán was the fifth best paid executive of the Ibex in 2012, a total of 9.2 million .
"This is the light at the end of the tunnel ," he said wryly a consumer social networking referring to the rate hikes . In a country where 1.4 million households have cut their electricity for non-payment , the increase in January can mean a heavy blow . You should change the saying , "He that comes first to turn off the light."
