A bulb hangs inside a restaurant in Madrid December 23, 2013. There were clear signs of manipulation at a Spanish wholesale power auction used to set household bills that was later annulled by the competition authorities, the Industry Minister said in an interview published on Saturday. The quarterly auction of wholesale electricity on Thursday recorded a sharp jump in price, which would have translated to a 10.5 percent rise in power bills, prompting the regulator to annul the auction.
