The president of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) (1), Emmanuelle Wargon, spoke on Sunday December 29, 2024 on Franceinfo et BFMTVto announce upcoming changes to the off-peak and peak hours system.
Off-peak hours are distributed at times when electricity demand is lower and allow you to use your electrical appliances at a more advantageous rate.
“Ensure they remain advantageous”
Emmanuelle Wargon announced that their slots would be modified in mid-2025, in order to adapt to current needs and to favor electric vehicles.
“At the CRE, we are attached to off-peak hours, we want to position them better, because some are poorly located, around 7-8 a.m. or around 5-6 p.m., she announced on Franceinfo. We must ensure that off-peak hours remain advantageous. Today, it takes 30% of its consumption during off-peak hours for it to become attractive. »
New electricity consumption habits could thus be adopted by the French.
(1) The CRE is the independent administrative authority responsible for the proper functioning of the electricity and gas markets in France.
