Electricity market reform: the French Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission de régulation de l’énergie – CRE) and the Autorité de la concurrence publish their letter to the French government

Summary:

The French Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) and the Autoritu00e9 de la concurrence have published a letter to the French government proposing measures to ensure fair competition in the implementation of the electricity market reform. The authorities aim to create a level playing field between EDF and its competitors to maximize benefits for consumers. The draft law on energy sovereignty, currently under consultation, includes some of these proposals. However, the implementation of long-term allocation contracts for EDF's nuclear production (CAPN) could raise competition risks depending on the chosen methods.
