It’s been a year since Enedis and the Energy Regulatory Commission warned us: The French who have so far refused to install a Linky box in their home will have to go to the vault in 2023. however, it seems to be discussed by decision makers. After initially deciding on a tariff of 8.30 euros every two months or 49.80 euros a year, CRE has finally made things simple.
Therefore, from 1 January 2023, Enedis will have to be paid a total of €61 per year, which is just over €5 per month. But as we explained to you earlier, it is possible to avoid this bill. To do this, do your own reading once a year, as this is the process billed by the network administrator, otherwise he will have to send a technician to your home.
Anti-Linky will no longer be able to evade the 2025 bill
However, this respite will be short-lived. Indeed, as Enedis pointed out to our colleagues from Challenges, this method will only be valid until the end of 2024. “It is planned that the total costs incurred by reading the last old generation meters will be reflected only to the customers who generate these costs”describes the network manager. Translation: They will have no choice but to pay the additional cost applied.
Today, France still has 3.8 million old generation electricity meters, or 10% of the total French stock. “The reasons may be related to communication difficulties, particularly in the context of second homes, technical problems or customers who expressed reluctance to install the meter”According to an Enedis spokesperson.
