What is optimal power?

It is very important to contract the right amount of electricity power for your business, since if the power you contract does not suit the needs of your company, there can be different issues:

• If you contract more electricity than you really need, you may be paying unnecessarily for power you do not use.
• If you contract less electricity than you really need, there can be two types of problems if you exceed it:
  • If the contracted power is less than 15 kW, when the contracted limit is exceeded, the electricity supply will be cut off. In other words, "the fuses will blow."
  • If the contracted power is more than 15 kW, even if the power supply is not cut off, your company will find additional penalties appearing in the bill as a result of exceeding the contracted power.

Calculate your optimal electricity power with Endesa

Imagine that you have a business with contracted electricity power that is more than you need: You will be overpaying on each monthly bill, when you could actually save a significant amount. And imagine the opposite case, that the power contracted for your business is lower than you actually need and the fuses blow suddenly, with the consequent inconvenience or if you have to pay a supplementary charge every month.

How can this problem be solved? It is very simple, what you need to do is to find out the power you actually need for your business and that is why Endesa can give you access to the Endesa power calculator that will guide you and help you discover the estimated savings that a change of power could mean in your bill.

Can I change the contracted power for my business in Spain?

In Spain, because of the international context, a series of measures have been established to promote energy saving, including greater flexibility when modifying the contracted power. In this way, companies and self-employed people are not restricted to making only one change of power per year.

This measure protects businesses that, like hotels, reduce their consumption to a minimum in certain months of the year, by enabling them to reduce the fixed power in the off-season and increase it some months later.

You should bear in mind that changing the contracted electricity power is not a decision should be taken lightly, so Endesa advises you to calculate the minimum power required for the business to work properly, so that you save both energy and in your final bill.
