I was one of the people disconnected I moved to this house because the power was from PPE and I was fed up of being ripped off by EdeNorte and the all the power cuts, EdeNorte promised there would be on cuts in the area! what a joke weve had lots. I will see what happens when the bill comes as EdeNorte said the bill will be less, as they charge less this is another lie I have the bills to prove it from the past

Yes we had maybe three cuts with PPE, which when i called them they explained (Edenorte don't even answer the phone) in the last month with Edenorte we have had more power cuts than in a hole year with PPE.
