How hard is it to cancel EDP?
EDP scores 66/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the PT, a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone, online (self-serve), email.
EDP Comercial (Portugal) consumers can cancel without penalty by exercising the right of free resolution (direito de livre resolucao) within 14 days of contract signature, using EDP's official livre-resolucao form. After a valid free resolution EDP reimburses payments already made within a maximum of 14 days via the original payment method. To cancel outside that window, termination is requested by phone (selecting electricity/gas then contract cancellation), through the EDP customer area, or via the EDP form; for a switch to another supplier the new comercializador handles everything and the prior contract need not be terminated explicitly. No early-termination fee is stated for standard market contracts.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
