Earlier this month, the Wall Street journal reported that the Spanish government will be raising household electricity prices by 9.8% from January 1st.

According to the Household Energy Price Index, costs for electricity have been rising throughout Europe in 2010 to the highest prices for some years. Spain is ranked as 6th most expensive with the UK down in 12th, so you will notice that you pay a higher price in Spain than you may be used to if you’re from the UK.
