Equatorial Alagoas warns about the importance of changing ownership of the electricity bill to avoid future problems

Changing ownership of the electricity bill is an important procedure that must be carried out by Equatorial Alagoas customers, in order to avoid future problems such as unwanted debts and unexpected disconnections. The holder of the energy bill is the natural or legal person responsible for managing the consumer unit, having powers to resolve situations such as debt negotiations and requests for power disconnection.

To request a change of ownership, customers have two options: in person at a service agency or via the Equatorial Alagoas website, following the step-by-step instructions indicated on the portal. After the request, the distributor contacts you to inform you whether the procedure was carried out successfully and provides the new contract account number, with the name of the new holder in the next invoice cycle.

It is important to highlight that in cases of sale or rental of the property, it is advisable to request the unit to be disconnected to avoid accumulating unnecessary debts. The new resident must request reactivation with a change of ownership, thus assuming the energy bill in their name. Furthermore, the electricity bill also serves as proof of residence for various registrations, reinforcing the importance of updating the bill holder.

The documentation required to change ownership varies for individuals and legal entities, including identification documents, links with the property and, in the case of representatives, a notarized power of attorney. It is essential that the new owner has no financial disputes with the concessionaire, and in cases of undue unpaid invoices, it is necessary to prove ownership of the property through documents such as a purchase and sale or rental agreement.

In this way, Equatorial Alagoas alerts its customers about the importance of changing ownership of the energy account, aiming to guarantee security and regularity in the supply of electricity.
