  Although the rental price includes most services:

  • Connection fees are billed separately where applicable (for example, if you request reprogramming).
  • The rental includes the meter and modem, if necessary.

  If remote metering is mandatory and the meter is in an area with no mobile coverage:

  • You must provide a dedicated landline (RTC) solely for this service.

  Regulatory verifications carried out by official bodies:

  • Must be paid for by the person responsible for the meter.
  • Are carried out in the presence of e‑distribución personnel.

  If you are a producer under the Special Regime, to register for the Comprehensive Metering Service you must take out a contract for ancillary services. A meter will be assigned to these services for the purpose of billing the rental.
