100,000 consumers have already taken the opportunity to reduce their electricity bill
The momentum gained by the group purchase of electricity orchestrated by UFC-Que Choisir does not weaken. In just two weeks since its launch, no less than 100,000 consumers took the opportunity to reduce their electricity billwith average annual savings announced at 160 euros. The promise of a kWh at -12% compared to the regulated rate, and this, with a fixed price for two years, is reassuring in these times of economic uncertainty. Subscribers served by Enedis are invited to take advantage of this offer, available to the first 120,000 subscribers, before the group closes on November 15, 2023.
The advantages of this purchasing group become even more significant for large consumers of electricity, such as electrically heated homes. With an annual consumption of 10,000 kWh, the saving can reach 266 eurosand for those who climb to 15,000 kWh, the figure rises to 400 euros in savings. These figures are not negligible, especially when we consider the total of 16 million euros in savings already reaped by the participants. And with the price increases expected in February 2024, this price shield offered by group purchasing could prove even more beneficial.
The UFC-Que Choisir guarantees legal security
Interest in this offer is not limited to EDF customers or regulated rate subscribers. Many subscribers also come from market offers with alternative providers, proving that savings are available to everyone, regardless of their current provider. With a geographical distribution of registrations led by Île-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Occitanie, the national momentum for this initiative is evident. In addition to competitive prices, UFC-Que Choisir guarantees reinforced legal security and support in the event of a complaint, making the offer as reassuring as it is profitable.
In the context of an energy crisis which is putting French people’s wallets to the test, this group purchasing initiative represents a glimmer of hope. She demonstrates the effectiveness of collective actions in the face of economic challenges and the ability of consumers to influence the energy market. This approach allows consumers to take back the power and protect their purchasing power. The three energy giants, EDF, Engie and TotalEnergies share 90% of the market. At the end of 2022, they served 31.8 million homes with electricity and 9.5 million with gas.
