📦 Moving house in Slovenia: what do I do about electricity and gas?

The short answer

Moving is a common moment for billing mistakes. Read the meters on both days and tell your supplier in time.

📜 The rules in Slovenia

The market

The electricity market has been fully open since July 2007: every household can choose its supplier. Gas from the grid is also bought from a supplier of your choice. The network part of the bill stays the same whoever supplies you.

Switching supplier

Switching supplier is free and must be completed within 21 days of a complete request. You only contact the new supplier, which can handle everything. You get a final bill from the old supplier within 6 weeks. Leaving within the first year may cost what your contract says.

❓ Questions

Can I take my contract with me?

Often yes, within the same country. Otherwise moving usually lets you end it.

What if the supply is off at the new home?

Contact a supplier or the grid operator to have it connected.

Who pays for energy between tenants?

The person on the contract pays until the move is reported. That is why the meter reading matters.
