It is a right of the client:
· To receive electricity at their consumer unit in the voltage standards and continuity index established in the contract;
· To be advised about efficient electricity consumption, looking to reduce waste and ensure safety in its use;
· To choose the due date for their bill: if the due date does not suit your needs, simply request the change from Enel. We are obliged to offer at least six due date options;
· To get their energy bill at least five days before the due date, at the consumer unit’s address or another location specified by the account holder;
· To be informed via the energy bill of the percentage increase to the electricity tariff and the starting date of its validity;
