- NullPrefix 2y agotransmission charges still apply
- gruez 2y agoConsumers don't pay the market rate, because that'd expose them to price shocks (see: the griddy fiasco in texas a few years ago). They get a fixed rate from their utility.
- guerby 2y agoIn France consumers with below 36kVA grid connection can choose to pay state fixed prices, or they can choose various market offers, here is the official list of electricity providers: https://www.enedis.fr/liste-des-fournisseurs-delectricite https://www.enedis.fr/liste-des-fournisseurs-delectricite
- pyrale 2y agoState-fixed prices are rarely interesting though, as the price is calculated to be above-market.
- nawitus 2y agoThat depends on the consumer (and market I guess). In many countries in Europe that is an option. (Although there should be some extra fees on top).
