## How do you choose a supplier?

First compare the estimated annual cost in the ERSE simulator for your CPE. Then check the price-guarantee length, discount conditions (direct debit and electronic billing), customer support, and energy origin.

If you are newly arrived, prefer suppliers with English support or simple online signup. If you drive and refuel with a specific brand, cross-discounts from Galp, Repsol, or BP may pay off.
