Yes, depending on the consumer's wishes.

This procedure is quite simple and does not require much effort and time, because one of the essential conditions of the contract for the supply of electricity to the consumer is the procedure for changing the electricity supplier.
No provision of the contract for the supply of electricity to a consumer shall restrict the consumer's right to change electricity supplier. In addition, the contract may not contain provisions that impose additional financial obligations on the consumer who exercises the said right. Otherwise, such provision shall be deemed invalid from the moment of conclusion of the contract.
At the same time, an important condition for exercising the right to free choice of electricity supplier is the presence of a consumer agreement concluded with the system operator for the provision of electricity distribution (transmission) services.
The consumer can change their electricity supplier free of charge.
If the consumer chooses another electricity supplier, the consent of the previous electricity supplier to terminate the contract with him for the supply of electricity to the consumer is not required.
Until the termination of the electricity supply contract with the consumer, the previous electricity supplier is obliged to ensure the supply of electricity to the consumer under the terms of the current contract.
Changing the electricity supplier at the initiative of the consumer must be completed within no more than three weeks from the date of notification by such consumer of the intention to change the electricity supplier.
The process of changing the electricity supplier by the consumer is provided by the entities (participants) of the electricity market and the participants of the retail electricity market, who are involved in the process of changing the electricity supplier and ensure the change and information exchange during such a change free of charge.
