- Requesting to contract more power than your installation allows
What does it cost for a CIE?
If you get a quote for any electrical work which involves technical modification to your current electrical installaion; the quote should include the provision of the CIE.
The price of a Boletin/CIE can range from €150 to €200, there is no fixed price. It will essentially depend on the characteristics of the electrical installation, the installer who performs it and even the Autonomous Community where the installation is located.
