Liberalized market
More information for your switch
What is? How much does it cost?
The liberalized energy market allows consumers to choose their electricity and/or natural gas supplier, choosing the solution that best fits their needs.
In the liberalized energy market, energy prices are determined by the supplier and not by ERSE.
This process has no associated cost and can be done at any time. Only the tariff will be changed, according to the supplier of your choice.
Until when do I have to change?
The transitional period of switching to the retail market runs until the end of 2020.
During this period, while staying on the regulated market, it will be able to maintain its current supplier, with a transitory tariff set by ERSE and subject to quarterly review.
Regulated price conditions
Since 1st January 2018, energy suppliers may charge tariffs that are equivalent to the regulated tariff.
If you wish to have access to these conditions and they are not available from your supplier, you can request the cessation of the agreement and contract this tariff with the Last Resort Supplier.
