To change your electricity company and ensure that the process goes smoothly, it is essential to have a series of documents that will identify you and your point of supply. Here are the documents you need:
National Identity Card (DNI) or passport: This document is necessary to identify the contract holder. Make sure it is valid and in good condition.
2. Universal Supply Point Code (CUPS): The CUPS is a unique identifier of your electrical connection. You can find this code on a previous bill from your current company. It is essential for the new utility to locate and manage your supply.
3. Complete address of the point of supply: The new company will need the exact address of the property where the electric service is provided. This includes street, number, floor, door, zip code and town.
4. Bank details (IBAN): Provide the bank account number where you would like your invoices to be paid by direct debit. This information is crucial to set up the direct debit and facilitate the automatic payment of your monthly invoices.
5. Last bill from the current company: Having a copy of the last bill can be useful to verify consumption details, CUPS, and other relevant data that the new company may need.
6. Electrical Bulletin or Electrical Installation Certificate (if required): In some cases, especially if there is a significant change in the contracted power or if the installation is old, this certificate may be required. This document guarantees that the electrical installation complies with current regulations.
7. Current contract (if applicable): If you are subject to a contract with a commitment of permanence, review the conditions and keep it handy to verify any possible penalties for early cancellation.
By having all of these documents prepared, you will be able to expedite the process of switching electric companies. It is advisable to review each document to ensure that the information is correct and up to date. In addition, maintaining fluid communication with the new electric company during the process will help you resolve any questions or issues that may arise.
Switching electric companies can offer you better rates and terms, so make sure you have all the necessary documentation to make the transition as quick and easy as possible.
