In order to avoid any tensions on the French electricity network this winter, the government is working on a project to temporarily limit electricity consumption for 200,000 homes.
Will you be on the list? According to information from The Tribune, the government is working on a project to temporarily limit electricity consumption for 200,000 homes. The goal would be to protect the network from any overexploitation.
Concretely, the planned test would amount to lowering the available power of Linky residential meters to 3kVA (it is generally 6 kVA in homes).
Affected households would be informed by post. “The idea is that certain customers are forced to consume a little less, rather than having to completely turn off the light in one place,” explains an energy supplier who requested anonymity to the economic daily.
According to information from TF1 Info the Ministry of Energy Transition plans a reduction in power which will still make it possible to “guarantee the maintenance of lighting and key equipment for two hours, in a given area”.
According to RMC , which obtained the second version of the draft decree, participants will be able to refuse the experiment by reporting to Enedis. Those who accept will be compensated up to €10. Patients requiring maximum continuous power supply will be automatically excluded from this test.
A device activated as a last resort
“The device would only be activated if all other levers were insufficient to avoid a collapse of the electricity network,” explains a government spokesperson.
Which geographical sector will be affected? “Consultations are continuing on this point, with experts (in particular to have the richest possible experimentation in terms of territorial diversity), as well as with elected officials,” indicated the ministry. A draft decree will be submitted to the CSE for opinion on November 30, 2023.
