The President of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) Emmanuelle Wargon announced on Wednesday, September 11, that she was working with Enedis to redefine the peak and off-peak hours that determine the price of certain electricity subscriptions, as part of a reform that should be launched “early 2025”.
In an interview with Figarothe former minister raises the possibility that the 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. slot becomes a full hour or that the time slots differ between summer and winter “to take into account the (…) period of the day during which the production of the solar panels is the highest”.It is a way of smoothing out consumption peaks and therefore controlling the sizing of production resources and networks. It is also a way of reducing the bill.”, continues Emmanuelle Wargon.
Invited to franceinfo on Thursday, the president of the CRE specifies that she wants ““put off-peak hours in the summer” And “afternoon”since “Now we have a lot of solar production that is not expensive, especially in the summer. So it would be nicer to have off-peak hours in the afternoon, between March and November.”
This offer was subscribed by “a good third of consumers”Emmanuel Wargon calculated, and allows for cheaper electricity at certain timess by consuming “when it costs the least for systems, in production and in the network.”
