The UFC Que Choisir offers a group purchase of gas

Ua saving of 173.90 euros on average over one year. The offer is attractive in these times when energy, and in particular gas, is a little more expensive every year.

Like every year, the consumer defense association UFC-Que Choisir locally relays a group gas purchase offer. This offer, at a fixed price for two years, allows for savings of 17 to 22%, according to the association’s calculations.

For all subscribers served by GRDF

For this, UFC-Que Choisir has created a subsidiary, SAS Que Choisir, which is responsible each year for negotiating prices with several gas suppliers. This year, it was Alterna Énergie, a company based in Poitou, which won the market. This offer is offered today to all subscribers served by the national distributor GRDF (excluding local distribution companies).

This offer, called “Cheaper Energy Together”, guarantees the same rate for two years. “ After two years, the price may change », Specifies Jean-Marie Dorée, local delegate of the association. Consumers can also turn to the new group purchasing offer which will be made by the association.

The association did the accounts: last year, in Oise, 924 households subscribed to the offer and made an average of 173.90 euros over the year.

Reinforced legal security

The UFC also guarantees a contract with “ reinforced legal security », in particular because the national UFC federation is involved in processing any complaints from subscribers during the first year. However, this does not exempt subscribers from reading the contract before signing it, to ensure that it suits them.

To access the offer, simply follow the instructions on the Quechoisirensemble website. The new operator takes care of everything. It has now been more than ten years since the gas offer was launched. The Cheaper Energy Together campaign has also been open to electricity since 2016. For gas, the subscription campaign is open until December 31.

In 2023, the local branch of UFC-Que Choisir, based in Senlis, had more than a thousand disputes to deal with, mainly relating to telephony and automobiles. “ And we only had two people in the association to manage themremembers Jean-Marie Dorée, local representative of the association. The association has been reorganized and there are now eight of us in the association. These people were trained during sessions organized by the federation of the association, throughout Hauts-de-France. They are efficient people. »

In this month of November 2024, around 400 files passed into the hands of the local branch. “ Most of the requests we receive are mainly for advice. We give them away for free. We most often suggest sending registered mail, or indicating that a copy of the mail has been sent to UFC-Que Choisir. Usually that’s enough. On the other hand, when it comes to real support, we ask to join the association. »
