How to switch electricity supplier at no cost
Published on October 16, 2026 · By Cristian Tanase
In short: switching supplier is free and does not interrupt your supply. All you need is a recent bill and a few minutes.
This is Part 9. You know what a supplier does; now let us see how to change.
What you need to know
- It is free: you can switch whenever you find an offer that suits your use better, with no switching charge.
- You will not lose power: the network and the meter stay the same; only the company that sells you the energy changes.
- The new supplier handles it: you do not need to cancel the old contract yourself.
Step by step
- Have a recent bill at hand. You will need the CPE (delivery point code), your contracted power and the type of tariff.
- Compare offers, looking at the energy price, the power price and the contract conditions.
- Choose and authorise the switch with the new supplier.
- Wait: the new supplier handles the process and sends you the contract documents.
What to check before signing
- Whether your current contract has a minimum term that could carry penalties if you leave early.
- Whether the price is fixed or can vary, and for how long the offer lasts.
- Whether there are discounts that end after a few months.
To compare with more confidence, it helps to know your contracted power and your type of tariff. Trafero can also handle this process for you, at no cost.
