Paying your Sonelgaz bill online in 2026: Edahabia, CIB and BaridiMob
Where to pay, which numbers from the bill you need, why the amount gets rejected, and how to avoid a power cut.
Household electricity and gas bills from Sonelgaz arrive every quarter. You can pay them online with an Edahabia or CIB card on the official e-payment portal, from your CCP account in BaridiMob, or in person. Online payment avoids the stamp duty charged on cash payments, and the receipt arrives as a PDF straight away.

In the Algérie Poste BaridiMob app, open the bill payments section, choose Sonelgaz, then scan the barcode on the bill or type its reference. The amount is debited from your CCP account after you confirm with the SMS code. Edahabia holders can also pay from the BaridiNet web service.

Why an online payment is rejected
- You added the 25 DA stamp duty. It applies only to cash payments, so pay the amount without it.
- The reference or the key has a typo.
- Internet payment or 3-D Secure is not enabled on your card.
- You typed a comma instead of a point for the decimals.

Deadlines and power cuts
Each bill has a payment deadline that differs from its issue date. Once it has passed, Sonelgaz can cut electricity and gas, and reconnection costs are charged to you. If money is tight, go to your agency before the deadline to ask about paying in instalments.
FAQ Everyday payments
Frequently asked
Is there a fee for paying Sonelgaz online?
Card and transfer payments avoid the 25 DA stamp duty that applies to cash payments. Your bank may charge its usual card fees.
I paid but my account still shows the bill as unpaid. What now?
Processing can take 24 to 72 hours depending on the region. Keep the receipt; if the bill is still open after three days, bring it to your Sonelgaz agency.
Can I pay a relative’s bill?
Yes. The portal only needs the bill reference, key and amount, so you can pay any bill with your own card.
