20 Jul 2026 Enforcesco, S.A.Portugal: €107,920 for Enforcesco over switches without consent and gas reserves PortugalConsumer protection and online retail €107,920

In a settlement procedure the energy regulator ordered electricity and gas supplier Enforcesco to pay 107,920 EUR in total: 90,000 EUR (halved from 180,000 EUR) under the energy-sector sanctions regime and 17,920 EUR in voluntarily paid fines for economic administrative offences. The breaches included taking over 6,853 customers without explicit consent, failing to hold the required natural gas security reserves from January 2023 to February 2025, incorrect invoices, an unlawful disconnection and a call-centre answer rate of only 57.8% in 2023.

What organisations can take from it

Mass customer acquisitions without documented consent and neglected mandatory reserves reveal a lack of compliance oversight during growth.

Relevance to training and awareness

Consent for supplier switching and the duty to hold security-of-supply reserves
