Electricity prices for individuals "will remain stable until at least February 1st," according to the CEO of EDF

EDF's CEO Bernard Fontana announced that electricity prices for households will remain stable until at least February 1, 2024, potentially throughout winter. He mentioned a review clause for regulated tariffs on that date but expects government measures to maintain price stability. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu previously stated that electricity prices should not rise this winter and urged EDF to maximize production capacity. After two years of increases, regulated tariffs saw a 15% decrease in February 2025, followed by a slight drop in February 2026, before a 2.5% rise in August 2026. Regulated tariffs affect over 20 million subscribers, contrasting with market rates from various suppliers.
