ANDE offers up to 60 interest-free installments to settle electricity debt

Paraguay's National Electricity Administration (ANDE) has introduced a new promotion, "Ñande Ahorro," aimed at helping customers regularize their electricity bill debts. Running from June 10 to July 31, 2026, the initiative offers significant financial relief, particularly for residential users and small businesses. These customers can now settle their accumulated debt in up to 60 interest-free installments. A key benefit is that the first installment will not be due until the customer receives their next electricity bill, providing immediate financial breathing room. The promotion also waives all late fees and interest charges for those who take advantage of the plan. Larissa Riquelme, known as "the girlfriend of the World Cup," is featured as the face of the campaign. For larger industrial and commercial clients classified under Medium Tension, the terms are slightly different. They are required to make an initial down payment of 20% of their outstanding debt, with the remaining balance financed over a maximum of 10 consecutive interest-free installments. However, companies categorized under "Special Intensive Consumption Group" are excluded from this financing option. Customers who opt to pay their entire debt in a single lump sum will receive an immediate exemption from all late payment surcharges. Beyond debt settlement, ANDE is also offering benefits to customers who maintain their accounts current. These clients can perform free of charge updates to their meter's ownership, a useful service for new property owners or tenants. Additionally, the administrative fees for upgrading electricity load capacity or changing from a single-phase to a three-phase system (up to 41.58 kW) are waived for those with no outstanding debts. New customers can also benefit by deferring the payment for connection rights to their next bill. To streamline the process, ANDE has enabled digital applications through its official website, while also maintaining in-person service at its customer service offices.
