I have owned a property in Spain for about 5 months now. The Iberdrola billing seem to work ok because they take the money out of my account every month and I have access to the on-line e-billing and I do check things regularly online. So far so good but there are a few things I don't understand.

1. What is demand charge and what do the 3 different rates mean PP, PLL, PV? 

2. I assume the energy rate is based upon how much you use but again what does P, LL and V mean? Does it have to do with certain hours during the day? Maybe they charge different rates during certain times. When I lived in Switzerland it was like that

3. On the last page of the bill it always show me a whole bunch of figures, see below. It gives me 18 different reading and are labelled CAP1, CAP2...CAP6, CRP1, CRP2...CRP6, MAP1, MAP2....MAP6. What do all these different readings mean? Aren't they complicating things a bit here.

On my side of the street they supposedly installed new meters before I moved in (not on the other side of the street). My neighbour tells me that everyone with new meters have received increased bills and his bill is approx 30 euros per month (still old meter) but his bill sounds very low to me. How are the new meters read? Is it automatically? In my home country the meters send a reading at the last day of the month to the energy company so that you always get an accurate reading every month. On every bill in Spain it says that the last reading is REAL so it must be automatic.

Anyone who knows anything more about this?
