Question 2243 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Loïc Prud'homme alerts the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to cases of forced installation of “Linky” smart meters. The Linky meter records users' electricity consumption every 10 minutes then transmits them to the user's energy operator. The recording and storage of this personal data raises many questions regarding their use, in particular their distribution to third parties. As part of respect for their privacy, some citizens are opposed to the installation of a Linky meter to replace their old meter or during a new connection. Other users do not wish to have a Linky meter for health reasons. While these people report their refusal to install a Linky meter to Enedis by registered mail, by summons to not employing a bailiff, or by installing devices blocking access to their meter, Enedis carries out forced installation of Linky meters. Ms. Ségolène Royal, then Minister of the Environment, Energy and the Sea in charge of international relations on climate, had nevertheless challenged Enedis on April 21, 2017 by stipulating that “The deployment of the Linky meter should in no way be perceived as a constraint imposed on users and I ask you to stop these practices.” He asks him what he plans to do to make Enedis stop the forced installation of Linky meters to users who are opposed to it?
