Spain fuel prices and electricity rates
Overview
The emergency fuel VAT that ended on 1 July 2026 pushed gasoline prices up more than 6 % and added roughly €5 to a full 55‑L diesel fill‑up. A July study in Extremadura showed 47 % of motorists now prioritise low‑cost stations, up from 41 % a year earlier, and many would switch for savings of about €0.10 per litre. National averages on 20 July 2026 were €1.64 /L for 95‑octane gasoline and €1.71 /L for diesel, with discount chains such as Costco, Alcampo, Ballenoil, Plenergy and Petroprix offering the cheapest rates—some stations as low as €1.319 /L for gasoline and €1.227 /L in the Canary Islands. Regional lows were recorded in Andalusia (≈ €1.329 /L) and Tenerife (≈ €1.315 /L diesel). These daily updates help drivers locate the most affordable pumps. Wholesale electricity prices on the OMIE market averaged €90.74 /MWh on 18 July, falling to a low of €0.0217 /kWh (≈ 22 €/MWh) between 13:00‑16:00 and peaking at €0.2043 /kWh (≈ 204 €/MWh) around 07:00‑08:00. On 20 July the regulated PVPC tariff surged 44.39 % in a single day, lifting the average to €136 /MWh and sending many monthly bills above €60. The cheapest window remained 13:00‑16:00 (≈ €0.11 /kWh), while night‑time rates topped €0.30 /kWh, with a brief spike to €227 /MWh during the World Cup final. Vulnerable households in the Balearic Islands can receive a Social Electricity Bonus to offset costs. Spain’s oil consumption hit a ten‑year high of 1.27 million bpd in 2025, with total liquid fuel use near 1.32 million bpd and external energy dependence steady at about 68 % in 2024.
