Gas LRT for communities of owners
From 19 October 2022, communities of neighbours with a central gas boiler can contract a regulated tariff at very competitive prices. Here is a detailed explanation.
RDL 18/2022 introduces reinforcement measures to protect energy consumers and reduce natural gas consumption. In practice, this translates into a new gas tariff which is especially advantageous for communities of neighbours that have a central boiler.
To contract this tariff, you must go to one of the last resort marketers that you can consult in this list.
If you are currently with Endesa, you must first contact the last resort supplier of the same business group (Energía XXI), as established in article 2.4. of Royal Decree-Law 18/2022, of October 18.
