Leclerc will soon make an offer ofelectricity at cost price, report The Parisian in an article published on Saturday, May 29. The Ile-de-France daily recalls that this service must be offered by all suppliers from 2022, according to European regulations.
“Leclerc Énergies” will offer a subscription at € 6 per month, to which costs linked to regulatory obligations will also have to be added. The offer will only be offered to individuals with a Linky meter.
Risks associated with consumption
Pricing will be dynamic: “Thanks to a dedicated application, customers will know hour by hour and 24 hours in advance the variable electricity tariff, indexed to the price on the wholesale market”, explains Le Parisien. Users must therefore be able to adapt their consumption more easily in order to save money.
This new offer on the market primarily targets households with high consumption. Leclerc claims to allow individuals consuming nearly 7,000 kWh / year to achieve 22% savings, relays The Parisian.
However, a consumer association warns of the risks associated with this type of contract. “Consumers want predictability on bills, but there is none”, notes a manager who underlines the risks associated with overconsumption in winter and therefore a higher bill.
