Energy From conventional to renewable energies Energy renewable energy Energy Welcome to lenergie.com! Welcome to Supplierdenergie.com! Supply is a central issue in the liberalization of the energy market. Previously, French territory was not fairly supplied: some places were more exposed to power cuts than others. The arrival of competitors facing the incumbent operators aims to guarantee territorial and social cohesion by promoting service to “remote” territories and by minimizing the risk of power outages. The supply of electricity and gas is therefore intended to be of the same quality for all. On a European scale, the opening of the energy market will make it possible to meet the shortages in certain countries. Securing energy supply sources is one of the measures contributing to the fight against climate change. Made possible by the liberalization of the energy market, it requires total transparency and assumes that energy production is controlled, and therefore that no more energy is produced than necessary. promote access to energy Access to energy and services for all is at the heart of sustainable development: maintaining energy for the most disadvantaged, access to energy in developing countries, accessibility of services to people with disabilities. It is also about treating all customers without discrimination. The possibilities offered to customers who are deaf or hard of hearing and actions to raise awareness among staff in the reception of disabled people take place in support of this approach. What is an energy supplier in France The opening up to competition of the European energy market has resulted in the transposition of several European directives into French law. Any supplier wishing to sell electricity or gas must therefore meet a certain number of conditions. To ensure the proper functioning of the electricity and gas markets, an independent administrative authority was created in 2000: the CRE (Commission Régulation Énergie). It reconciles openness to competition and the fulfillment of public service missions to which any energy supplier must respond. It is therefore this entity that decides on the arrival of new suppliers on the French market. All suppliers must receive accreditation from CRE to exercise their activity. The Commission therefore examines whether the candidate has sufficient technical, economic and financial capacities to ensure a sustainable supply of energy, in particular during peak periods. The supplier must also guarantee that the energy that he will sell will satisfactorily meet certain quality and safety criteria. CRE also asks the candidate supplier to take into account, in the choice of the energies that it will sell to its customers, the requirements of sustainable development. The applicant must also set up a solidarity rate for people in a precarious situation. A supplier accredited by CRE must also precisely inform consumers about the origin of the energy it sells. Every year, the energy supplier submits a detailed report of its activities to CRE's services and updates the information allowing the granting of its authorization. It can also be checked at any time, at random, on compliance with these principles. Loading ... | Contact | Reproduction prohibited: lenergie .com
