Discover the Best Electricity Deals for March 2025
Are you searching for the most affordable electricity plans this March? Look no further! We’ve compiled two top 5 lists utilizing the latest insights from the Energy Mediator’s comparison tool.
Top Affordable Plans: Base Option
For a consumer residing in Rennes with an annual consumption of 2,400 KWh and a 9 KVA meter, opting for a base option can lead to savings of up to 150 euros compared to the regulated tariff. The most economical offers come from Mint énergie, priced at 559 euros annually, and Engie, with an annual cost of 640 euros. However, both options require a commitment of over a year to enjoy these rates.
Mint énergie provides a promotional discount of 150 euros, while Engie offers a 100 euro discount, both applicable after a year of subscription. With Mint énergie, the discount will be reflected from the 13th monthly payment onward. Additionally, there is a possibility of obtaining another 150 euro discount starting from the 25th monthly payment, although keep in mind that rates may increase without prior notice after the first year.
Engie’s offer stipulates that the discount is spread across several installments on bimonthly and semiannual bills, based on your billing frequency. Should you decide to cancel before the contract concludes, the discount will be prorated according to the time elapsed.
Next in line is a fixed offer from La Bellenergie, with an estimated annual cost of 649 euros, followed closely by Ohm énergie, where the annual bill is around 651 euros, with prices subject to change biannually. Lastly, Gaz de Bordeaux offers a fixed pricing structure for both KW and subscription fees, totaling 652 euros annually, locked in for two years.
Best Off-Peak Electricity Offers
Now, let’s explore the off-peak options for a consumer using 8,500 KWh annually, also based in Rennes with a 9 KVA meter, and a consumption breakdown of 40% during off-peak hours and 60% during peak hours.
As expected, the most economical choice remains the Tempo plan from EDF. This option necessitates flexibility on days with high peak hour prices, specifically during the 22 designated red days in winter, with an estimated yearly expense of 1,583 euros.
Primeo énergie presents a fixed offer over 2 years, with an annual cost of 1,744 euros, while La Bellenergie has a similar fixed plan for one year, costing approximately 1,748 euros annually. On the other hand, Ohm énergie offers a plan with biannual price adjustments and an estimated annual bill of 1,750 euros.
Rounding out our list is Mint énergie, which also features a fixed offer. The estimated annual bill is around 1,752 euros, contingent on taking advantage of the 150 euro promotion. However, this requires a commitment to the supplier, as the discount is applied starting from the 13th monthly payment. It’s essential to note that there will be a planned rate increase after the first year of subscription.
Keep in mind that the monthly subscription price, excluding tax, will automatically rise by 2.50 euros, and the cost of kWh will increase by 0.0075 euros during base and peak hours, and by 0.0055 euros during off-peak hours.
