Agência para a Energia

The state energy agency. Its job is to help people and businesses use less energy: it runs the energy certification of homes (the certificado energético shown when a home is sold or let), calculates and publishes data on the electricity and gas market, and offers free cost calculators — for the home and for an electric car. It sells no energy and signs no one up: it is a state agency, not a supplier.

Where you come across it. On the Poupa Energia portal, in a home's energy certificate, and wherever electricity and gas tariffs are compared.
ADENE is neither an energy supplier nor a tariff regulator: tariffs are set by ERSE, and your electricity is sold to you by the supplier you chose. The agency only calculates and explains.
