The Minister for the Environment, Agriculture and Sustainability of Andorra and President of FEDA, Sílvia Calvó Armengol, recently explained the reasons why electricity bills in Andorra are cheaper than in many European countries.
Eighty per cent of the electricity consumed in Andorra is purchased from France and Spain. So why is it that the increase in electricity prices in neighbouring countries does not affect the Andorran electricity bill? This is because the Government of Andorra and the Andorran electricity company, FEDA, have made a great effort in recent years to improve the situation in order to continue to offer competitive prices and services in Andorra.
On the other hand, the Government and FEDA have kept the price of electricity the same as in 2020, and the will is that in 2022 it will remain the same. This is a clear commitment and effort to support families and companies that, during the economic and social crisis caused by COVID-19, have received this help from Andorran public institutions.
Incidentally, most of the electricity produced in Andorra is hydroelectric, although there are also mini-hydro and photovoltaic installations, among others. Andorra’s intention is to continue investing in the energy transition and increase local production to cover 50% of local demand.
Electricity prices in Andorra are among the lowest in Europe. In 2020 it was 68% cheaper than Spain and 43% cheaper than France. Compared to the European average, it was 58% cheaper.
Despite the above, FEDA will still have to pay more than before for electricity purchased from outside. This means an obvious reduction in profits this year and probably next year as well. However, thanks to the Andorran electricity company’s healthy finances, FEDA’s commitment to its customers will not be affected by the rise in electricity prices in Europe. Moreover, the transition to a more sustainable energy model will allow Andorra to continue to maintain the quality and competitiveness to which Andorrans are accustomed.
