While energy prices remain at a very high level, UFC-Que Choisir, determined to work concretely for the purchasing power of consumers, has launched, via its subsidiary, SAS Que Choisir, a call for offers from national gas suppliers, so that they offer a financially attractive and legally secure offer. Several suppliers submitted offers, and, after analysis, the lowest winning offer was that of Alterna Energie. This offer is offered today to all subscribers served by the national distributor GRDF (excluding local distribution companies).
Between 17% and 22% savings (including tax) compared to the average kWh benchmark price
The winning offer displays a price per kWh of gas (including tax) between 17% and 22% lower than the average benchmark price for the month of November (depending on the tariff zone and the cooking or heating tariff option) (1). The subscription has a price identical to that of the benchmark price (among the cheapest on the market). This offer allows you to make substantial savings.
Concretely, and in comparison with the “gateway” offer to which former TRV gas subscribers have switched, a household using only gas for cooking or for domestic hot water and consuming 4,000 kWh per year will make a saving of 166 euros on its annual bill (573 euros compared to 739 euros) (2). The gain in purchasing power will be even greater for a household heated by gas and consuming 20,000 kWh per year since it will save 473 euros over one year (2,004 euros compared to 2,477 euros). Considering all the offers currently available on the market, the “Cheaper Energy Together” offer is, by far, the most financially attractive (3), being at least 13.6% cheaper (4) .
A fixed price over 2 years protecting consumers from a new price hike
In accordance with the specifications, the offer proposed by the winner guarantees the fixed price of gas and the subscription over two years (5) (excluding changes in taxation). Therefore, consumers are protected over a long period from a potential new explosion in gas prices on the markets. The “Cheaper Energy Together” offer could therefore actually provide even greater savings than those calculated on the basis of current prices.
Beyond competitive prices, legal security
Beyond the pricing aspect, the “Cheaper Energy Together” offer is once again characterized by reinforced legal security with a secure contract, with clauses more protective of consumers than those conventionally proposed, as well as by the involvement of the UFC-Que Choisir Federation in the processing of possible complaints from subscribers during the first year (6).
To reduce gas bills, consumers are therefore invited to discover the winning “Cheaper Energy Together” offer on the SAS Que Choisir website. www.quechoisirensemble.fr . If interested, they can obtain a personalized quote from the winning supplier, and if necessary express their wish to subscribe to the group purchase (7) until December 31, 2024.
