Abstract
Different constraints to the neutrino electric millicharge (NEM) have been obtained by considering interactions such as the elastic neutrino-electron scattering (ENES). However, the great potential of the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE\(\nu\)NS) in future reactor neutrino experiments could be an alternative to improve the current limits on the NEM. In this work we study the sensitivity of ENES and CE\(\nu\)NS interactions in reactor experiments to the neutrino charge through a combination of different experimental data. Bounds up to the order of \(10^{-14}e\) are achieved from CE\(\nu\)NS at reactor neutrino experiments.
