2. When concluding a contract electronically, the entire contract documentation is sent to your email address. You can then sign this documentation electronically through a single click.
3. When concluding a contract in paper form, the entire documentation is sent to your permanent address. An envelope with prepaid postage will also be attached to the documentation. Please use this envelope to return a signed copy of the contract.
4. Leave the rest to us.

The following information is required to switch suppliers:

- number and address of metering point;
- personal information of the metering point owner, if the owner and signatory are not the same person;
- current account number if you wish to arrange payment via direct debit (standing order).
You can also find this information in the contract on access to the distribution system. Provide one of these documents prior to completing the form for switching suppliers.

The signing of a new contract is mandatory in three instances:
- if you established a new connection to the network, i.e. due to a new-build that to date had not been connected, or if reconnection is required (if the metering point had been disconnected);
- if you are the new owner of a metering point or if changes to a metering point occurred, i.e. due to the transfer of the metering point to someone else (sale of real estate); and
- when switching electricity suppliers.
