This is the same consumption that is displayed in the bill details.
We also inform you if the reading is actual or estimated:
• The actual reading is the value read on the supply meter or metering equipment by the distribution company on the corresponding date.
• The estimated reading is a value calculated by the distribution company, using historical consumption as a basis and according to a regulatory formula established by the Ministry of Industry.
Remember that you have the option of reading your meter yourself, that is to say, you can provide the corresponding distributor with the reading from your meter, either on the Customer Services Telephone Line 900 225 235 or at our Virtual Office for inclusion on your next bill.

In this way, you can compare consumption during the last period with the same period the previous year. The highlighted horizontal line marks the average consumption for your contract.
