Arrears and refunds
A careful guide to know everything you need if you are late with the payment of the bill or you have to ask for a refund. Read the faqs that Enel Energia thought to answer your doubts and help you in the procedure.
Faq late payments
Each bill has an expiration date, which you can find in the main box on the first page.
If you pay a bill after the deadline, we may ask you:
- for interest on late payments
- for postage costs incurred from sending a payment reminder and/or a letter of formal notice.
If you have already paid your bill, you do not need to do anything! The reminder may have been sent at the same time you made your payment; we'll see to recording the payment.
If you haven't paid your bill yet, you should do so as soon as possible; the greater the delay, the greater the late payment interest prescribed by your Contract may be, which will be added to your next bill.

We may ask the Distributor in your area to cut off your supply.
Suspension of electricity supply
If technically possible, the power of your meter will be reduced to 15% of the total available power, in which case you will only be able to use some types of electrical equipment.
If you have not paid the overdue bills within 15 days of the power reduction, your supply will be turned off. After another 10 days, if you have still not provided proof of payment of the entire overdue amount, your Contract will be closed (Contract resolution) without further notice.
Warning! If your Contract is closed (Contract resolution) or administratively archived, to reactivate the supply you will need to:
- Settle all overdue amounts
- Request a new Contract
- Click here for more detailed information.
To find out the costs of this operation, go to the question: "How much does supply suspension and reactivation for non-payment cost?"
Suspension of Gas supply
10 days after supply suspension, if you still haven't provided proof of payment of the entire overdue amount, your Contract will be closed (Contract resolution).
If suspending supply is impossible (e.g. because the Distributor cannot access your meter) we will request the cut of the entire conduit riser and the costs will be charged to you. Also in this case your Contract will be closed (Contract resolution).
If cutting the conduit riser is also impossible, your Contract will be terminated administratively and the supply will go to Default service.

To find out the costs of this operation, go to the question: "How much does supply suspension and reactivation for non-payment cost?"
The riser is the pipe (or a group of vertical pipes) which transports gas to the various floors of a building. Interrupting gas supply requires cutting the riser if it is impossible to access the gas meter.

In any case, the supply cannot be suspended if:
- A formal notice has not been sent and the wait times prescribed by the Authority have not been respected
- You have paid your bill and provided proof of payment within the set time frame
- You have submitted a written complaint regarding the bill and you are waiting for a reply. In any case, the complaint must relate to: a recalculation of consumption due to a Meter malfunction (defects ascertained by the Distributor), or a balance of abnormal amounts
- If the meter's technical conditions don't allow it
- If your debt is not related to matters laid down in the Supply Contract (e.g.: non-payment of the subscription fee for private television)
- If the supply is impossible to disconnect.
Even in the case of overdue payments, certain types of supply cannot be suspended.
The types of supply that are impossible to disconnect are those that:
- Supply life-saving equipment
- Fall under those of the Emergency Plan for the Electric Security Service (CIPE Resolution no. 91 of 16 November 1979)
