EDF tariffs

[Headers]

@ Headers, dropping your puissance souscrite in LINKY times, think twice.

The contract fixes the puissance so I am on 12 until I cancel the contract. But that’s ok as that’s where we’ve been all along.

My linky monitoring has kicked in on the new contract.
I have compared two similar days (17.5 kw ) and the cost is roughly 1.2 € less on the new contract.
I assume the price difference will reduce on 1/2 when the regulated tariff will come down 15% but I think the zen fixe is still going to be lower.

And so the fun begins.
I fixed my HC and HP rates on 23/1 with a new contract.
I checked today on the app and it’s showing an higher rate.
Have I Misunderstood? I don’t think so but I’ve written to EDF to ask them to explain why my rate hasn’t been fixed for the two years and one month that they promised me. The rate I am seeing is still lower than the réglemente one but not by much.

Do folk really think EDF is gonna make significant reductions via different tariffs? Even when the impending reduction comes in I reckon that the fixed charges will go up to ‘compensate’. Remember it is a virtual State monopoly, too big, overstaffed and inefficient. And any profits go towards paying for the bloated carcass of the French State.

I’m on tariff blue and can see the charge for yesterday and I’m pretty sure it’s reduced, though I was away but know what’s on.

I’ll check it at the end of this week when I’m here all the time and report back. It should be 15% less, apparently.

Luckily privatisation in France hasn’t had the same issues as the the UK and profits don’t go towards private investors who don’t improve the infrastructure, just milk the cow.

But the taxes and charges have been increased from the same 01/02 date so the 15% reduction in the unit price will be partially obliterated by the tax increases.

I have written to them asking them to show me the rates and taxes for my new contract before and after the 1/2 as it is not transparent at all.

Better go to directors of privatised companies who sack as many staff as they can and pay themselves ott bonuses ?

[tagh]

Private companies which do that seem to plummet in viability and eventually get into trouble whereas State owned entities sail along regardless with increased salaries and bonuses and gold plated pensions.
The private company has a monopoly, in which case the problem of under investment is entirely the failure of the State for not providing an adequate regulatory framework, Thames Water being a prime example.
Ownership by the State is inefficient and expensive and self serving whereas a regulated private sector works well, particularly where the staff have the right to buy or receive shares with conditions.
