Prices are the energy term of the PVPC (the regulated 2.0TD tariff) for mainland Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands. They include network tolls and charges, but not taxes (VAT and electricity tax) or the capacity term. If you have a fixed-price free-market tariff, your price does not change by the hour.
