In the midst of the energy crisis, a decree published in recent days now authorizes Enedis to disconnect the hot water tank remotely in more than four million homes equipped with a Linky meter. The measure will be applied for six months from October 15.
To save energy, your water heater can be shut down remotely by Enedis if you have a Linky meter, according to a decree published in recent days. The measure will be applied for six months from October 15. Objective : avoid real power outages. However, the measure is not unanimous among users. “Everyone has to make an effort, anyway”said one of them. “That means we don’t have control over it, they do what they want”laments another.
The supply to the water heaters will be cut during off-peak hours, between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.. More than four million households are affected. Other electrical equipment will not be affected, and Enedis ensures that the consequences will be minimal. If necessary, users can even restart their water heater manually.
