The acronym CIE stands for Electrical Installation Certificate. This document is mandatory and it certifies that your installation is in good working conditions and complies with all the technical requirements. Your distribution company will need it in the following cases:
- The last meter update was over 20 years ago.
- The power you are requesting exceeds the amount stipulated in your certificate.
- You are requesting a change of power for a new house that has never been occupied.
- You live in the Canary Islands and you want to change your contracted power.
In order to obtain a new certificate, you will have to hire the services of an electrician authorised by the Ministry of Energy. The cost varies considerably (between 50-200 Euros), therefore we strongly recommend that you ask for various estimates.
If you live in Catalonia, these expenses will increase if you are asked for another certificate (Blue Certificate).
Once you have your certificate, you can send it to us at contrato@escandinavaelectricidad.es (you have 30 days to send us the certificate from the moment you request the change of power).
Do you have any questions?
If so, we encourage you to send your questions to us, info@escandinavaelectricidad.es.
And of course, you can call us on the toll-free number 900 373 681 and the advisers of our team will be pleased to assist you.
