How much does it cost to register a new gas supply point?
You can change the retailer, tariff or holder for free. However, if you wish to register a new supply point, you will be required to pay a series of charges to your distribution company.
These amounts are established in the corresponding regulations and they are the same, regardless of the distribution company (remember that you cannot choose the distribution company: each region will have its own distribution company assigned). The amount will vary according to your annual gas consumption and the autonomous community in which you live.
These costs do not include any expenses associated with adapting your installation or equipment. This will depend on the installer you choose. The prices for these services can vary greatly, depending on your choice.
The cost of registering a new gas supply point (or re-connecting one that has not been used for more than 5 years) is shown below (Royal Decree 1434/2002 of 14 December). These costs are charged by the distribution company, but they will be included in your first bill (sent to you by your retailer).
- Supply connection charges
- Registration charges
- Guarantee deposit

They are paid to the distribution company when a natural gas supply point is registered for the first time or in the case of gas supply points that have not been used for the past 5 years or more.
The price mainly depends on the access tariff chosen by the new customer during registration. |

| Registration fees |
These fees are charged by the distribution company when you register a new gas supply point. They include the reception of the bulletin, inspection, and installation and inspection of the meter. |
The amount charged will depend on the autonomous community in which you reside and your access tariff.
This amount will range from 60 to 130 euros, according to point 3 of article 91 of Law 34/1998, of 7 October. |
| Security deposit |
This deposit only applies to new registrations, increase of the contracted power or when a supply point is re-connected. |
The amount is calculated according to the theoretical monthly billing amount corresponding to the contracted power. |
