However, in its last press release, the French energy supplier chose not to show this “prosumer fee” on the invoice. “It therefore does not appear on your deposit invoices, nor on your adjustment invoice and that is normal!”, can we read in their latest announcement. Such good news for panel owners? If at first glance, it would seem so, there would be nothing to shout ‘hooray’ either. First, because all customers who subscribed to a TotalEnergies offer before November 2022 are not affected by this advantage, which greatly reduces the number of people concerned. But also because the tax will apply once more for 2024.
Why it will be less advantageous to invest in photovoltaics in Wallonia in 2024
A desperate backpedal?
Not all suppliers have chosen to set up a prosumer package. Engie, for example, would not have followed the movement because of its satisfactory overall management in balancing its tariffs, confides Régis François, “unlike Total, which produces almost nothing (in Belgium, Editor’s note). he buys back energy at market rates, this is trading. So they acted in haste with this package. Only this has led to the fact that many customers have gone to other suppliers. “
So how do you explain this strategy to customers? Contacted by La Libre, TotalEnergies has not yet answered our questions. But for the president of Beprosumer, this step back would be more of a desperate step than a real gift to his customers. “They are trying to backpedal in the rules of the art to maintain the customers who are at home. If I have only one piece of advice to give to the prosumer today: run away from this kind of supplier who changes the rules along the way”, launches Régis François, who invites the owners of photovoltaic panels to turn to other suppliers, who “produce energy themselves and know how to anticipate price variations.”
Another reason put forward by the president of the ASBL: with contracts renewed annually, TotalEnergies might change the contracts unilaterally by modifying the conditions of use, with a risk that customers will not realize this immediately. a price change, at least before having the invoice in front of them.
