Fixed-term electricity contract and moving

Do you have a fixed-term electricity contract for your current home? When you move, you need to terminate a fixed-term contract even if you have time left on your contract. 

Usually, a fixed-term electricity contract binds both the buyer and the seller for the entire contract period, but moving is an exception. When you move, you need to terminate your fixed-term electricity contract.

If you want a fixed-term electricity contract for your new home, you can select a new one.

Terminating an electricity contract when moving

When you move, don’t forget to terminate your old electricity contract. Electricity contracts are always tied to a specific address.

If you don’t terminate your old contract, it will remain valid until the new resident of your previous home sets up their own electricity contract. This means you could still be responsible for paying the bill for the old contract. On the other hand, once the new resident makes an electricity contract, your old one will automatically end.

Fixed-term electricity contracts also need to be terminated when you move.

Make sure to set up a new electricity contract and terminate the old one before moving

When moving, remember these two important steps: set up a new electricity contract for your new home in advance, and terminate the contract for your old home.

This way, your electricity needs will be taken care of, and your new home will have power ready on your moving day. Wishing you a smooth move!
