Andorra Households Face Price Hikes on Electricity, Tolls and Fees in 2026

January has brought higher costs for Andorran households following Christmas spending, with several price increases taking effect in 2026 tied to recent inflation figures.

Electricity tariffs rose by 2.8%, matching November's IPC closing rate. The hike applies uniformly across all tariffs and consumption bands, except the subsidised rate, which remains frozen to support vulnerable households. Andorra's electricity prices stay below those of neighbouring countries, where rates are around 40% higher. For average households without electric heating, the increase amounts to about €1 per month; those with electric heating face roughly €2 more. The gap between the standard domestic rate and the subsidised one has widened to 20% in the lowest band and up to 58% in higher consumption tiers. Officials at FEDA say the uniform adjustment supports economic development, energy savings, protection for disadvantaged groups, partial pass-through of energy costs, financial balance amid inflation, and funding for the energy transition.

Envalira tunnel tolls also increased, linked to October's IPC. Light vehicles now cost €8.10, up 20 cents or 2.53% from €7.90. Vans and vehicles with trailers rose from €13.90 to €14.20 (2.16% increase). Heavy vehicles and coaches went from €15.90 to €16.30 (2.52%), while higher-category or multi-axle vehicles climbed from €19.90 to €20.30 (2.01%). Motorcycles and two- or three-wheeled vehicles pay €4.80, a 10-cent or 2.13% rise. Discounts remain: 50% off for Pas de la Casa residents and workers, Andorran public transport firms operating domestically, and local goods transport companies. Free passage continues during weather-related closures.

For context, Spain's Cadí tunnel toll for cars is now €14.56, up 2.82% or 40 cents year-on-year.

In Andorra la Vella, council fees sparked debate. Parking subscriptions rose 2.5%, Serradells passes by 25%, public hygiene tax by 5%, Foc i Lloc by 4.5%, property tax by 3%, and dog ownership by 7%. Democratic councillor David Astrié challenged the majority, asking if they had assessed the impact on average families amid the housing crisis. Finance councillor Joaquim Miró defended the "moderate" rises after detailed review, citing high service costs.

Sant Julià de Lòria raised meal prices at the Llar from €6.90 to €7.80; minority councillor Mireia Codina opposed it, warning of burdens on elderly users and hoping no one drops the service. Ordino public parking fees increased 5%.

Tobacco prices jumped 20% from 1 January, especially for budget brands.
