A typical Spanish household spends €60-100/month on electricity (€720-1,200/year), €30-60/month on piped natural gas in winter (€15-25/month in summer) or €16.46 per bottle for bottled gas (regulated price, early 2026), and €25-50/month on water, billed bi-monthly by the municipal supplier. Combined, electricity, water, gas, and internet typically total €100-200/month for a standard apartment. Setup ('dar de alta') requires navigating separate distributor and retailer roles, choosing between the regulated PVPC electricity tariff and free-market offers, and dealing with regional water monopolies; new electricity connections cost €100-1,000 depending on contracted power and existing infrastructure (CIE) availability.
