⚡ My energy bill is wrong and the supplier won't fix it — who do I complain to?

Direct answer

First a written complaint to the supplier — they must answer within a set time, and most disputes end here once you ask for the meter readings behind the bill. If they do not solve it, Úrad pre reguláciu sieťových odvetví (ÚRSO) (02 58 100 411) is the independent body for energy disputes in Slovakia: free, and the supplier has to take part. ÚRSO — podnety na praktiky (urso.gov.sk) is the regulator that supervises suppliers and takes complaints about practices, not individual bills. Pay the undisputed part meanwhile — that keeps your supply on.

❓ Frequently asked

Can they cut me off during the dispute?

Not for a disputed amount that is with the ombudsman, and never without notice. Pay the undisputed part and say so in writing.

They estimated my consumption for a year

You can demand a bill based on actual readings. Give the reading with a dated photo; the difference must be corrected.

I was switched without agreeing

That is a regulator matter. Contact ÚRSO — podnety na praktiky and your old supplier; the contract can be reversed.
