Greek term or phrase: συνφ.
It's right at the bottom of the first page of my electricity bill.

συνφ. 1,000

I've looked through the notes on the back of the bill and on the DEH site and I can't think of any words beginning with συνφ.

So I suppose it must be one of those annoying abbreviations. συντελεστής φόρου?

Can anybody enlighten me?

agree  Fevos Zachopoulos: Definitely correct. I think the term is 'power factor' (pretty certain but not 100%)
