Question 13892 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Alexandre Allegret-Pilot draws the attention of the Minister Delegate, Government spokesperson to the Prime Minister, and Minister Delegate, responsible for energy to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty, to the significant increase in disputes in the electricity sector, as illustrated by the fact that more than 100,000 referrals are now recorded each year by the National Energy Ombudsman. This situation highlights structural weaknesses in the market, particularly with regard to the relationships between electricity producers and buyers, as well as the level of information and support for the players concerned. In this context, he wishes to draw attention to two specific points, as identified by the Mediator. First, the need to better regulate entry into the market of non-obligatory buyers and to strengthen control of their activities. In this regard, the establishment of a prior registration system should be considered, accompanied by control by the administration of the financial capacities of these actors. If necessary, alert mechanisms could be established to prevent failures likely to harm producers. Then the need for increased effort in terms of transparency and information for electricity producers seems essential. This requires in particular better readability of the contracts offered, as well as a more homogeneous presentation of essential information. Ultimately, the establishment of a reliable and standardized comparison tool should help to inform producers' choices and strengthen competition for the benefit of consumers. He wants to know his position on this subject.
