How to register for electricity

We will explain how to register for electricity and how much it costs. Endesa takes care of everything: Make a request for connection to the distribution network and register your contract, all at the same time.

What is your current situation?

Register for electricity

If you do not have supply, it is because it is:

  • A new construction for which there has never been electricity.
  • A second-hand home or business premises that already had an electricity supply point registered but it was cancelled.

It is important to bear in mind that a new registration is completely different from a change of retailer, a change of tariff or a change of contract holder.

New registrations are only required for homes or business premises with no previous supply point registered.

How much does it cost to register for electricity?

To register, you need to pay the fees of the electricity distribution company, which is the company responsible for ensuring that your home receives electricity. These amounts are regulated and are the same regardless of your distribution company.

The following drop-down list includes a breakdown of the cost of registering a new supply point. These costs are paid to the distribution company, and they will be included in your first bill (and this will be sent by the retailer).

For the maintenance of the electrical infrastructure. This is paid when registering or reactivating a supply that has been cancelled for more than 3 years. It is usually paid by the promoter/builder, but if it concerns an increase in power it is paid by the contract holder.

€17.37 (excluding VAT) per kW of contracted power. For the powers most commonly contracted (3.45 kW-4.6 kW) we would be talking about €60-80.

For using the electricity transmission network. This is paid when you register a new electricity supply point, re-connect an existing electricity supply point or increase the contracted power.

€19.7 (excluding VAT) per kW of contracted power. For the powers most commonly contracted (3.45 kW-4.6 kW) we would be talking about €70-90.

For the connection of the supply point to the grid. This is paid when you register a new electricity supply point or re-connect an existing electricity supply point. If the contract was cancelled due to unpaid bills, the customer will be asked to pay twice the amount.

€9.04 (VAT not included).

To verify that the electrical installation complies with the technical conditions. Not charged if an electrical bulletin or CIE is submitted.

As a deposit when registering, reactivating a supply point or increasing the power.

Between €10.54 and €13.10 for each kW of electrical power.

Your distribution company is responsible for registering electricity.

It cannot be chosen and there is one per zone. Nevertheless, you can always choose your retailer, which is the one with which you sign a contract and the one that sends you all your invoices.

What data and documents do you need to register for electricity?

We will ask you for the following documents when you request a new electricity supply point to be registered:

What happens during the registration process?

One of your distribution company's technicians will visit your home or business premises to take care of your supply point. In the case of electricity, the technician will install a Power Control Switch (PCS), which regulates the contracted power chosen by the consumer.
