Details
The economic conditions for the supply under the default service vary depending on the specific case for which the default has been activated.
In general, the following prices will be applied:
- in the cases referred to in a) and b), the tariffs provided by ARERA for the "gas protection service" (with a retail sale quota component "QVD" equal to that defined for apartment buildings with domestic use) plus the γ parameter defined during the auction phase;
- in the cases referred to in c), the economic conditions provided for the "supplier of last resort service".
These prices will be increased to include the INAUI fee covering the arrears charges referred to in paragraph 31bis.4 of the TIVG, in the cases and modes specified by Art. 33.3 of the TIVG.
Billing for the default distribution service shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the ARERA in art. 33 of the TIVG.
Billing begins three months after the start of the default service, and is organised on a monthly basis.
If the default service for your supply has been activated with Enel Energia, you should have received a letter in which our company notifies you of the activation of the service and the relevant terms and conditions. The code displayed at the bottom left of the letter will help you understand the reason why the service was activated for your supply and the economic conditions that will be applied in the default distribution service, in particular:
- “DEF_B”: for non-disconnectable customers in arrears;
- “DEF_C”: for disconnectable customers in arrears;
- “DEF_A1”: for customers not in arrears and without the right to the supplier of last resort service, with regard to whom administrative termination has been requested;
- “DEF_A2”: for customers not in arrears and with the right to the supplier of last resort service, with regard to whom administrative termination has been requested;
- “DEF_D1”: for customers not in arrears who are not entitled to the supplier of last resort service and do not have a valid distribution contract;
- “DEF_D2” for customers not in arrears with the right to the last resort supply service but without a valid distribution contract.
In general, we inform you that the default distribution service is only temporary and lasts for six months, or until you sign a new contract for your gas supply or your supply is terminated (either at your request of that of the supplier). We therefore advise you to apply for a new gas supply contract as soon as possible, with no need to notify us of your withdrawal from the default distribution service for this purpose.
If the letter requests an advance of a certain amount as a security deposit, please make the payment in the manner and times specified to avoid Enel Energia requesting the authorised regional distributor to disconnect the supply due to arrears.
