The 6 time periods from Monday to Friday
Depending on the season we are in, the hours of your working days will have different costs, ranging from P1 (the most expensive segment) to P6 (the most economical segment):
P1 (Very Expensive): Applies only in High Season (from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 18:00 to 22:00).
P2 (Expensive): Applies in High Season (the rest of the hours of the day) and during the central hours of Medium-High Season.
P3 (Normal): Applies during the central hours of Medium Season.
P4 (Moderate): Applies during the central hours of Low Season.
P5 (Economic): Remaining hours of the Low Season.
P6 (The cheapest): Always covers from 00:00 to 08:00 in the morning at any time of the year.

Weekends and holidays
What happens on Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays? Good news: The 24 hours of the day become period P6 (the cheapest). If your business can schedule certain processes or consumption for the weekend, the savings will be immediate.
What can you do to reduce this bill?
Since the most expensive periods completely coincide with the usual commercial and productive hours of businesses, the most effective way to combat high periods (P1 and P2) is the installation of solar panels. Photovoltaic production coincides with sunny hours, just when the electricity grid charges you more.
