What is the access toll?
Types of electricity access rates
The electricity access toll is a concept regulated by the State that all users must pay on their electricity bill and represents approximately 40% of the total bill. These tolls are applied on the term of contracted power and the term of energy consumed.
Access tolls are paid for having access to the electricity distribution or transport network to guarantee its optimal operation and maintenance. This amount is paid on the invoice to the trading company with which we have contracted our rate, although the one who finally receives this part of the money is the distribution company.
The type of access toll depends on the contracted electrical power, whether it is a tariff without or with hourly discrimination, and the voltage with which the supply point is connected to the electrical network.

New access tolls 2020.
Since 2020 a new regulation has come into force promoted by the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) that has a transition period until November 1, 2020 and that affects all access tolls. You can find out about the new tolls or electricity access rates in the previous link.
2.0A access tariff: Toll for powers from 0 to 10 kW
This access rate will be available to all customers who have a contracted electricity rate with a fixed price throughout the day and with a power lower than 10 kilowatts (kW).
What does it mean to have a 2.0DHA access fee?
Having a 2.0 access rate means that we have contracted a low voltage rate with a power of less than 10 kW. Having contracted a 2.0DHA rate implies having contracted a rate with hourly discrimination, where the corresponding access toll must be paid for the contracted power and two access tolls for the term of consumption, one for the period of promoted hours (off-peak hours) and another for non-promotional hours (peak hours).
What rates have a 2.0DHS access toll?
The 2.0DHS access toll or tariff is held by those tariffs that present up to 3 different energy prices during the day. It is a tariff with hourly discrimination in 3 periods where we identify the supervalle hours (cheapest), off-peak hours (average price), peak hours (most expensive).
These types of rates are designed above all for those users who have an electric vehicle and take advantage of the cheapest hours, which range from 01:00 at night to 07:00, to charge it.
This access rate offers a single toll for power but 3 different tolls for the energy term, one for each discrimination period.
What is a 2.1A access fee?
The 2.1A access rate is designed for those users who need to contract a rate with a fixed price for the whole day with an electrical power greater than 10 kW but less than or equal to 15 kW.
2.1DHA Light Access Toll
The 2.1DHA access toll is a low voltage access toll for power from 10 to 15 kW and with time discrimination (two different types of light during the day).
2.1DHS Access Toll: Electric Car
The DHS access toll has a time discrimination in 3 periods, that is, the price of electricity is more expensive from 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., it maintains a lower price from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 00h and from 23: 00h to 01: 00h and finally the cheapest price includes the hours from 01.00h to 07: 00h.
Access rate 3.0
Despite being also a low voltage access tariff, it is focused on users who need to contract an electrical power greater than 15 kW. These access fees are usually found in small businesses and large homes.
What does it mean to have a 3.0 access rate?
Having contracted this 3.0 access rate implies having a rate with hourly discrimination in three periods.
The supply cannot be interrupted because the installation has a maximeter instead of a power control switch.
The invoiced power is calculated from the power that we have contracted and the power that we have actually used.
If we use less than 85% of the contracted power, the billed power will be 85% of the electrical power that we have contracted.
If the use of power is between 85% and 105% of what we have contracted, the billed power will be equal to the power we have contracted.
If the use of power is greater than 105% of the power that we have contracted, the billing for the contracted power will be increased according to the excess generated.
Where can I see the access toll on the electricity bill?
If you have contracted a free market rate, that is, that is not the regulated PVPC rate, you can check on your invoice the exact amount that you must pay for access tolls (both for the power term and for the energy term ).
Some companies do not indicate the price of the access tolls and include everything within the billing for energy term and billing for power term.
How are access tolls broken down in the PVPC rate?
If the rate that you have contracted is the PVPC rate, the access tolls are broken down in all the invoices offered by the reference marketers. This breakdown can be consulted by all customers in the "invoice detail" section
What are the natural gas access tolls or fees?
The same is true for natural gas. Natural gas access fees must be paid on our gas bill for having access, making use of the gas transportation network and to guarantee its proper functioning. This concept applies to the fixed term and the variable term of our rate.
According to the annual consumption generated in each home or premises, the distribution company in the area determines one type of access toll or another.
Natural gas access tolls are as follows:
Gas access fee 3.1
This access fee is for supply points that generate an annual consumption less than or equal to 5,000 kWh. This type of access toll is common especially in homes that have a kitchen and water that run on natural gas.
Gas access fee 3.2
This access rate is suitable for annual consumption between 5,000 kWh and 50,000 kWh. This access toll will be applied to those homes or premises that have a kitchen, hot water and natural gas heating.
Gas access fee 3.3
This type of access fee usually appears in small and medium-sized companies. This access toll is suitable for properties that generate an annual consumption greater than 50,000 kWh and less than or equal to 100,000 kWh.
Gas access fee 3.4
Access toll 3.4 is focused on supply points whose annual consumption exceeds 100,000 kWh / year. It is a focused access rate for large companies or neighborhood communities.
