Hi John.
I seem to have a good relationship going with my Electric supplier in Spain.
I am a non-resident but visit most months.
My bills are mostly estimated. What I do, is if I am over take the reading or if not get a friend to do it for me.
I send the numbers to my supplier and they adjust the bill either way debit or credit.
So no big shock bills when the meter is read which is not very often.
Well pleased in the way it works out. A very friendly service given by my supplier. Even when I asked about fitting a duel metre so I could get cheep rate electric to run the pool pump off peek. I asked one day and it was fitted in 4 in my absence. Saved about €100 last year not much but still a saving.
Always remember to keep the sun in Ya heart
