LUMIOS Calculator

Red Eléctrica has implemented a system to calculate the cost of electricity for households that do not have a smart meter. This new tool, called LUMIOS, shows those consumers who still do not have a smart meter installed what will be the cost of the ‘energy used’ on their electricity bill, simply by introducing the billing period, the estimated kWh consumption at the tariff (general, nighttime and electric vehicle) and the consumption profile assigned.

This tool will help the small consumer (those who have opted for PVPC and whose contracted power capacity does not exceed 10 kW) to know how their new electricity bill is drawn up taking as a base the calculation methodology that came into force in April.

On 1 April, 2014, the new system, the ‘Voluntary Price for Small Consumer (PVPC)’, came into force for determining the cost of energy on the electricity bill.
