Thousands of Portuguese are wasting hundreds of euros because they do not change their electricity company. ERSE has a simulator that helps choose the cheapest company. However, few use it. Therefore, ERSE has decided to go to companies to teach employees to use the comparator.
A recent study by the Energy Services Regulating Entity (ERSE) shows that more than half of the Portuguese has only changed an electricity company in the last 10 years. To change the situation, Erse is going to companies to teach employees how to use the comparator to save hundreds of euros a year.
O Followed a visit and the results are surprising.
“Let’s simulate with you” It is an initiative with a few months and is already giving some results. Any company in mainland Portugal can apply to receive this visit from the energy services regulatory entity. Specialized employees analyze one by one the invoices of employees who want to know if they can save in electricity.
Step by step to use the simulator at home
The accounting accounts have already made several reports on how to use the ERSE simulator. Just go to and then:
- Access the “simulators” link at the bottom of the page.
- Choose electricity or natural gas.
- Indicates the consumer profile.
- Removes the option “Indexed to the Spot Market”, reserved for advanced users.
Then comes up then, A list of the cheapest companies.
Once the account, with this action followed by accounts and the consumer found that changing gas company could save 168 euros a year and changing electricity company, could save another 240 euros. That is, a total of 408 euros a year that could stay in your pocket instead of going to some of the large companies.
Each person received different advice, because each case is a case. It should be aware of the price of KWh, the hired power, but also have additional discounts on telecommunications, supermarkets or gasolineiras. This can make a difference.
