Conditions and exceptions

Private suppliers have their own channels. The linked IEC report describes its 2024 complaints activity, not current tariffs or processing guarantees.

Read the breakdown

Compare readings, dates, usage, earlier payments and adjustments; identify the unclear item.
What should you prepare?

Full bill; receipts.

Please note

Do not open electrical cabinets or touch connections to obtain readings.

For a private supplier start with its own service.

Frequently asked questions

Must every electricity bill go to IEC?

No. Identify the issuing supplier and its role; a private supplier may handle the bill even where IEC manages infrastructure.
