Reductions on electricity consumption and on phone bills for pensioners in Spain

There are many companies vying for your business. Before you change your service provider, check the reductions on the cost of electricity supply from your present provider. Pensioners who meet the criteria are entitled to a special rate. You must be either over 60 years old and on a low pension, widowed or in receipt of a full invalidity pension. All you will need to provide are; copies of your residencia, enpadronato (census) and your last electricity bill. The property must be your habitual residence. You can submit the application by post avoiding the long queues at the companies offices.

I would like to remind pensioners to apply for the reduction on their phone line rental if they have a contract with the company who provides all telephone lines. Applying may be onerous but will be worth it as the you will only have to pay under two euro a month for the rental of your line. This only applies to residents of retirement age and on a low income.
