π‘ What if you could pay less for your electricity without changing your habits?
You open your EDF bill, and once again, the amount seems too high… However, a significant drop in rates has just been announced, and you could benefit from it right now.
Good news! π For a few months now, the price of the kWh from EDF has dropped, and if you know how to take advantage of it, your bill could finally lighten up. But how does this decrease work? Which offer to choose to maximize your savings? We explain everything with concrete and actionable advice! π
π° The price of the kWh from EDF is falling: what is really happening?
π Why this decrease in the regulated tariff?
βοΈ Since the last update of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE), electricity rates have been adjusted downward.
βοΈ The energy market is finding a balance after the price explosion of recent years.
βοΈ EDF is adapting to new government directives to protect consumers’ purchasing power.
π The new prices for the kWh from EDF (regulated tariff)
- Base Option: 0.2016 β¬ / kWh (previous tariff: 0.2516 β¬)
- Peak Hours / Off-Peak Hours Option:
- Peak hours: 0.2146 β¬ / kWh
- Off-peak hours: 0.1696 β¬ / kWh
π Concrete translation? If you consume 5000 kWh per year, this decrease represents an average saving of 250 β¬ on your annual bill! πΈ
π How to choose the best EDF offer to save even more?
π Base Option or Off-Peak Hours: what to choose?
β
Base Option: ideal if you consume at any time of the day without being able to adjust your schedule.
β
Off-Peak Hours Option: perfect if you can shift your consumption (washing machine, dishwasher, water heater) between 10 PM and 6 AM.
π Expert tip:
π‘ If you have a programmable water heater or electric heating, the Off-Peak Hours option is often more advantageous.
π And what about EDF market offers?
EDF also offers non-regulated rate plans, sometimes with fixed prices or more attractive discounts. It is always good to compare with alternative suppliers like TotalEnergies or Eni.
