What is utility setup
Setting up electricity (EDP Comercial), water (varies by municipality), gas, and internet in Portugal requires NIF, proof of address, and navigating Portuguese-language provider websites and call centres. We handle all provider contact, contract setup, and direct debit registration on your behalf.
Why use Algarve Made Easy
Provider websites and call centres are almost entirely in Portuguese. Contracts contain important terms around tariffs, standing charges and exit fees that aren't always clear. We set everything up correctly and explain your contracts in plain English.
Documents required
  • NIF number
  • Portuguese bank account for direct debit setup
  • Rental contract or property deed with full address
  • Previous meter readings if transferring an existing contract
  • CAE (Contador de Atividade Económica) number if needed for business premises
Everything included in your service
  • Electricity (EDP or alternative supplier) setup and registration
  • Water supply registration with local municipality
  • Internet and TV package recommendation and contract setup
  • Gas connection arrangement if applicable
  • Direct debit registration for all suppliers
  • Explanation of all contracts in English
