However, operational dispatch costs will decrease by 2.2% in the next quarter as autumn months have fewer system adequacy concerns compared to summer and winter months. Overall system charges will remain unchanged. The annual expense for the average vulnerable customer in greater-tutelage arrangements will amount to 665.38 euros from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, representing a 9.3% increase from 2025. As of October 1, 2026, the reference price for electricity for the average customer will be 43.43 cents per kilowatt-hour, including taxes.",
