He price of light tomorrow will drop more than 18% to 121 euros per megawatt hour (MWh), its lowest cost in Marchin a day in which the cap on gas will remain unapplied, according to the results of the auction held in the wholesale market. The Iberian mechanism will not be applied this Tuesday for the ninth consecutive day because the price of natural gas has fallen in the Iberian Gas Market (Mibgas) belowl limit of 55 euros/MWh set by the Government for the month of March.
Likewise, the light will be below the barrier of 130 euros/MWh for the first time so far in March, a price that it managed to exceed in 20 days of February. So far this year, electricity has been paid on average at 104 euros/MWh, less than half the price registered in the same period of the previous year (215 euros/MWh), when the energy markets were already beginning to feel the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
