Best gas tariffs in Spain: which plan should you choose?

Best gas tariffs in Spain: which plan should you choose?

Now that winter is here, gas consumption increases significantly and so can your energy bill. Choosing the right gas tariff is essential if you want to optimise your spending and avoid surprises. 

The best option for you will depend on factors such as your annual consumption, how you use gas at home and any additional services you may need. 

In this article, we guide you through the key factors to consider when choosing the gas tariff that best suits your needs, so you can enjoy a comfortable temperature at home without your consumption getting out of control.

Factors to consider before choosing a gas tariff 

Before choosing a tariff, it is important to review several key aspects that directly influence the final price of gas and the type of plan that is most suitable for your home. 

Analysing these factors will also help you if you are comparing gas suppliers in Spain or considering changing gas company. 

Determine your annual consumption 

The first step is to know your annual gas consumption, which is measured in kilowatt-hours, or kWh. This figure appears on your previous bills and is used to classify your supply within the relevant access tariff group. 

In the free market, there is a wide range of prices available, making it easier to choose an option tailored to your needs. Access tariffs are structured according to consumption. The most common ones for homes are: 

  • RL.1: consumption below 5,000 kWh per year
  • RL.2: between 5,000 and 15,000 kWh per year
  • RL.3: between 15,000 and 50,000 kWh per year

Businesses usually have higher demand depending on the number of employees and the size of the facilities. For these cases, the following groups may also apply: 

  • RL.4: between 50,000 and 300,000 kWh per year
  • RL.5: between 300,000 and 1,500,000 kWh per year
  • RL.6: between 1,500,000 and 5,000,000 kWh per year

Identifying your access tariff group will help you filter and find the gas plans that really match your home’s needs. 

What do you use gas for? 

How you use gas at home is another key factor. The most common uses are domestic hot water, heating and cooking. 

The most common natural gas appliances are: 

  • Natural gas boiler. 
  • Natural gas storage heater. 
  • Natural gas water heater. 

Being aware of your main gas uses will help you better understand your consumption. The more uses gas has in your home, the higher your annual consumption will be and the more important it becomes to choose a tariff adapted to that level of demand. 

Services included 

Some tariffs offer more than just gas supply. Our recommendation is to choose a tariff that includes a maintenance service. 

This usually involves a cost associated with the installation itself, so contracting it together with your gas tariff can give you extra peace of mind. 

With this type of tariff, you can rely on a specialist whenever you need one. Experts can carry out technical checks to rule out any faults and act if an issue occurs. 

How to compare gas suppliers in Spain 

When comparing gas suppliers in Spain, it is important not to look only at the price. The best gas supplier for your home will depend on the combination of tariff, consumption level, contract conditions and additional services. 

Before making a decision, compare: 

  • The tariff group that applies to your annual consumption. 
  • The price structure of the gas plan. 
  • Whether maintenance services are included or optional. 
  • The flexibility of the contract. 
  • Whether you can combine electricity and gas with the same supplier. 
  • The level of customer support and digital management options available

A good energy supplier should offer a plan that adapts to your real consumption habits and helps you control your bill over time. 

Best gas tariffs 

Depending on your annual consumption, Repsol offers different gas tariffs. These options are designed to adapt to the real needs of each home and make both contracting and long-term savings easier. 

Repsol offers different gas tariffs designed for different consumption levels. 

Tarifa Gas RL.1 

Tarifa Gas RL.1 is designed for homes with low annual consumption, below 5,000 kWh

It is common in households that mainly use gas for cooking or domestic hot water. 

Tarifa Gas RL.2 

Tarifa Gas RL.2 is aimed at consumers with medium consumption, between 5,000 and 15,000 kWh per year

It is usually the most common option for homes with gas heating in mild climate areas or with moderate use. 

Tarifa Gas RL.3 

Tarifa Gas RL.3 is suitable for higher consumption levels, between 15,000 and 50,000 kWh per year

It is common in larger homes or households where gas heating is used intensively during winter. 

Electricity and gas tariffs 

If you want to simplify your energy management, Repsol also offers combined electricity and gas tariffs. 

These options allow you to bring both supplies together in a single plan, making it easier to control consumption and manage your bill. These are the Tarifa Luz y Gas RL.1 and Tarifa Luz y Gas RL.2 plans. 

Once you have chosen your tariff, the process of setting up gas in a new home is simple. At Repsol, we also support you throughout the whole process. 

Difference between regulated and free market gas tariffs 

When deciding which gas tariff to choose, it is also important to distinguish between the regulated market and the free market

Regulated market tariffs, known as TUR, or Tarifa de Último Recurso / Last Resort Tariff, are set by the Government and their price is reviewed periodically, usually every three months. 

In the free market, energy suppliers such as Repsol offer tariffs with conditions adapted to the customer’s consumption, additional services and greater flexibility. 

Competition between companies makes it possible to access personalised offers, which may be more attractive depending on your profile. 

Analysing both alternatives is key to making the right decision according to your consumption habits.
