Question 15992 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Olivier Gaillard draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister for Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the cases of forced installation of Linky smart meters. The conditions for Linky's deployment are complex and raise the question of the modalities of its supervision. A legal drama is underway regarding the mayor's competence to exercise his police power. From the service user's point of view, the The problem of installing Linky meters raises different but equally important legal questions. Financially encouraged, Enedis is racing to install new meters, not always respecting the wishes expressed by users. This results in legal uncertainty surrounding the individual's freedom of choice. Following the report of the Court of Auditors of February 7, 2018, the cost-benefit assessment of the pricing system, too favorable to Enedis, has not been revised, despite the recommendations. Added to this is the fact that the new meter does not always accurately reflect the voltage corresponding to the subscription. Many users, after installation of this meter, experienced power cuts, response from Enedis. Furthermore, the studies on the health consequences or the protection of private data arrived too late and were not been sufficiently communicated to the general public. In this context, users' rights must be clarified, and there cannot be double standards between users. Any user should have the right to accept or refuse the installation of Linky, by virtue of free and informed consent. He therefore asks it to clarify and guarantee the means available to individuals to assert the right to refuse the installation. He then asks him to specify what the individual has the right to expect from the State and Enedis so that this right of refusal is respected and protected. Finally, he asks him to detail the financial consequences induced by the refusal to install the Linky meter, for the user.
