The online or digital bill service is a tool that offers many advantages for the supplier and for the final consumer. Among other things, it allows considerable savings on electricity and gas consumption. Here’s what it is.
The digital or electronic bill is the invoice for electricity and gas consumption which, instead of being sent via the classic postal channels, is forwarded by email. All consumers can request the switch from the paper bill to the digital one, at any time, both when signing the contract and afterwards, through a few simple steps.
In fact, it only takes a few minutes to activate the online billing service. First of all, you need to contact your gas and electricity supplier and ask that the bill is no longer sent by post, but online. Users have several options for requesting this service. You can contact your supplier’s customer service toll-free number, or make a request by registered letter with return receipt or fax. Alternatively, you can request a web bill, conveniently online through your customer area or the live chat service available on the gas and electricity supplier’s website.
Once the request has been accepted, an email is normally sent by the supplier communicating the activation of the electronic invoicing service.
