Petit-déjeuner débat du 22 octobre 2015
From 1 January 2016, producers of renewable electricity in France will have to sell their electricity on the market, as a consequence of the new mechanism resulting from the energy transition law. This new mechanism replaces the purchasing obligation which required EDF to buy this electricity at a fixed price for fifteen or twenty years. This represents a profound change as the producers will have to organise themselves to sell their electricity on the market, although they will still benefit from a guaranteed price provided by a variable premium based on the difference between the market price and a reference tariff.
