Name change on existing electricity meter cost 50 EUR + about 90 EUR electrical company's charge. For new electricity meter installation price is 50 EUR + about 500 EUR electrical company's charge.

If your bills are not pre-paid, we also offer bills paying service, which cost 195 EUR per year, so you can be sure that you don't overlook an important utility bill and electricity is there when you arrive for your next holiday.
