If you need to adjust the contracted power of your electricity supply, the first step is to assess your energy needs. The contracted power determines the maximum amount of electricity you can use at any one time without tripping the circuit breaker. If you experience frequent outages, you may need to increase the power. On the other hand, if your consumption is low, reducing it can help you save on your monthly bill.
To make the change, contact your electric company and request the power modification. You will have to indicate the desired new power. The company will ask you for some documents, such as a copy of your ID card and the CUPS. There may also be a cost associated with the change, which depends on current regulations and your supplier’s policy. The company will manage the change and will inform you of the new power term on your bill.
Please note that power changes can only be made a limited number of times per year, according to current regulations. Therefore, it is advisable to calculate your needs before requesting the change. If you have any doubts, many companies offer advice to help you determine the right power for your home.
