Do you think you know everything about the famous Linky meter? Discover this unexpected tip to reduce your electricity bills now in your home.
In 2025, French households are still facing strong economic tensions. Inflation, which has not weakened, continues to impact purchasing power, even at the start of the year. Indeed, current expenses become a real headache for many citizens. In other words, between the prices of food, fuel and energy, it is difficult to make ends meet with peace of mind.
To cope with these difficulties that have been present for several months, many people are reviewing their priorities. Small everyday savings are multiplying : hunting down food waste, reducing leisure budgets, optimizing energy expenditure. But these efforts are not always enough to regain stability. The French are then turning to innovative solutions to reduce their costs, particularly in the field of energy.

Linky : the connected meter that hides many tips
The counter Linkydeveloped by Enedishas established itself as a revolution in energy management. Indeed, this smart meter automatically records consumption data, thus eliminating physical interventions. But that’s not all. It also allows households to monitor their consumption in real time. This innovation aims to save electricity easily in French homes.
In addition to this transparency, Linky also offers techniques designed to encourage the reduction of expenses. Thanks to flexible pricing options, users can take advantage of off-peak hours to reduce their bill. But another, little-known trick is present. Under the cover of the meter there is a socket: the Customer Teleinformation (TIC) socket. By connecting a Radio Transmitter Linky (ERL), you access a host of features. And this is where savings take on a new dimension.

-The three key uses of the ICT socket Linky
This famous ICT socket offers three major advantages. First of all, by plugging in a connected screen, you get a clear and precise view of your energy consumption. The solutions offered by brands like Ecojoko or My Energy Manager display the household’s energy expenditure almost in real time. This visualization leads to identify energy-consuming devices and adjust your habits. Second benefit: with the electrical panel, the ICT socket can communicate with energy suppliers. This helps reduce the consumption of energy-intensive devices in the event of power overruns.

Solutions like those proposed by Delta Dore or DOMPilote simplify energy management, while preventing penalties linked to excesses. Then, the last trick going on is electric vehicle charging. In fact, the socket would allow charging to be synchronized with off-peak hours. So, Enedis relies on this technology to develop projects promoting a more ecological and economical daily life. Whether to better understand your consumption, automatically optimize your devices or support electric mobility, these tools represent a considerable advance.
