23 Jan 2026 EDP Comercial – Comercialização de Energia, S.A.Portugal: €130,000 for EDP Comercial over disconnections and a banned clause €130,000
The energy regulator punished 13 offences by EDP Comercial with a combined fine of 260,000 EUR, halved to 130,000 EUR in the settlement procedure. The offences included supplier switches without explicit consent or without checking entitlement, unlawful disconnections and capacity reductions, missed call-centre response targets in 2023 and 2024, an absolutely prohibited standard contract clause and a marketing message that did not disclose its commercial purpose.
Contract clauses and marketing texts need a legal check before use, just as every disconnection does before it is carried out.
