What are you on? Ar you talking about your electricity or your electricity
bills?

Of course you "want" (need or desire) your electricity bills, given that
your electricity *isn't* free. Otherwise the first thing you'd know is that
you get a court summons for non-payment. You "consent" (express a
willingness) to receive them when you sign up with your supplier, because
you need them.

What you "want" is a dictionary.
