Company rate: what is the price of kWh for electricity

Small professionals choose the blue prices of EDF or market prices (totalnergies which is the new Direct Energie total, Engie – GDF SUEZ. ))

EDF Pro subscription rate: Cost, Conditions 2023

Since the disappearance of the yellow rate and the green rate, EDF Pro electricity offers for professionals and businesses have evolved considerably. What are the prices of all these new subscriptions ? Are there cheaper offers on the market ?

Why do we talk about an EDF Pro subscription rate ?

An EDF subscription is a popular term used To designate any EDF electricity offer, whether for individuals or professionals.

However, if we refer to its exact meaning, the subscription designates The fixed part of your EDF invoice (or any other supplier).

Indeed, the electricity bill in a pro or in an individual consists of two parts:

• The fixed part : this is the subscription. It is a fixed rate that you pay to finance the electricity networks as well as the fixed costs of your supplier. The price of the subscription varies depending on the power of your counter and the subscribed offer.
• The variable part : it corresponds to what you have to pay for each kWh of electricity consumed. Its price varies according to the offer subscribed.

When you have to take out an EDF Pro Electricity Subscription ?

Need to compare pros offers ? It is often complicated to navigate in professional offers for small and large electricity consumers. Selectra puts specialized advisers at your disposal in order to guide you in the choice and subscription of a company offer. It is possible to contact them at
09 71 07 17 15 or online via an online form Announcement – EDF Non-Party Service

2 situations may arise:

• You move into a new room : you therefore need to put the counter to your name by subscribing to an electricity offer. The transfer of contract does not exist, you must terminate your old contract and take out a new. You can occasionally take the opportunity to change your supplier and pay cheaper.
• You don’t move, but you want to pay less for your electricity : In this case, you can use our electricity tender comparator for pros. Do not realize your old subscription yourself, it is the new supplier who takes care of it.

EDF Pro subscription rate: what cost ?

EDF Pro (also called EDF Entreprises) offers its customers many offers that adapt to the size and needs of companies, Whether you are a small SME or a large industrialist.

Yellow prices (medium powers)

The yellow electricity prices are reserved for companies whose meter power is between 42 and 240 kVA
The yellow prices are aimed at companies with a substantial but remaining electricity consumption of low voltage.

Yellow prices will disappear on December 31, 2015, In accordance with the Nome law: all consumers must have chosen a market price offer by this date on this date. Direct Energy offers market offers for yellow prices profiles (☎ 09 74 59 31 95 .

At the yellow rate, the price of electricity for a company depends on the option chosen, and the version.
There are two options in yellow rate:

• The base option : The year is divided into two seasons (summer and winter). For each season, a price for electricity in full hours and a price in off -peak hours are applicable, a total of 4 different kWh prices.
• The EJP option (erasure of the peak day) : as for the base option, there are 4 different kWh prices, but they are distributed differently.
  • In summer, a full hour price and a off -peak price apply.
  • In winter, 22 days ago mobile rush (very high kWh price), and a single “winter” rate the rest of the time.
    The EJP option is to be reserved for companies with great flexibility in their use of electricity: they must be able to drastically reduce their consumption in mobile peak without notice to be able to really make the advantageous rate granted the rest of the time ..

  The Yellow Price Base option is available in two versions: average use version (UM), up to 2000 hours per year, and long use version (UL) beyond. The yellow price EJP option is only available in long use version.

  Green prices

  Green prices serve as a reference for electricity prices paid by companies and electro-intensive industrial sites, connected in high voltage (more than 1,000 V). Reserved for meter powers exceeding 250 kVA, Green prices are available at the regulated rate (set by the State) at EDF, but some alternative suppliers specializing in major industrial and tertiary consumptions can also make offers at market prices.
  According to consumption profiles, the prices offered by suppliers such as PROXELIA, Primeo Energies (ex free energy / enel France), e.On, Alpiq or Edenkia can be attractive.

  Please note, like yellow prices, green regulated prices disappear on December 31, 2015 : We therefore strongly recommend that companies concerned to be interested in market offers upstream of this date.
  Market offer for profiles green prices with Proxelia: Request free online quote or request a quote from Totalenergies (Ex-Total Direct Energie).

  The green prices are a little more complex than blue prices and yellow prices: the price of electricity for a green price company depends:

  • Of the type of green price to which it is subscribed: there are 4 types of green prices, depending on the meter power:
    • The A5 green rate (power < 3MW) : 5 prix du kWh
    • The A8 green price (power < 10 MW) : 8 prix du kWh
    • Green price B (power> 10 MW): 8 KWH prices
    • The green price C (power> 40 MW): 8 prices per kWh (in green price B and C, the sites are connected to the transport network to benefit from a very high voltage power supply).
    • Base option: Depending on the green rate, there are 2 (A5 green rate) or 4 (green prices A8, B and C) seasons in the year. For each of them, a off-peak price and a full hour price apply (except: single price in July-August in A8, B and C). In winter, a third price per kWh, the “tip” price applies 4 hours a day.
    • EJP option (erasure of the peak day): the full hours off-peak hours in winter (and mid-season in A8, B and C) is replaced by a single price “winter hours” (“Hours of mid-season »). In return, a very high kWh price, the “peak day” rate applies 22 days a year. These days at 6 p.m. are mobile, and the notice is very reduced (the day before at 5 p.m. at the earliest, zero notice at the latest). The option is therefore aimed at very flexible sites.
    • Modular option (deleted option)

    Finally, the price of electricity in green tariff depends on the power class (A up to 0 MW, B from 10 to 40 MW or C beyond), and the voltage class (HTA, HTB; 220 KV, 240 kV) of the company.

    Example of a total invoice a blue price store (100 m², electric heating)

    According to the averages, a store consumes approximately 120 kWh per year of electricity per square meter. Therefore, a 100 m 2 store consumes 1200 kWh per year and will therefore be eligible for Professional blue rate. According to the grid of regulated prices in force, with a 9 kVA power counter, we can estimate the electricity bill:

    • The subscription is € 220.68 excl
    • The price per hour in full hour is € 0.1801 excl
    • The price per kWh in a hollow hour is € 0.1433 HTT

    If it is estimated that 70% of electricity consumption is made in full hours, the following formula indicates that the total bill is approximately € 423.16 excl to June 2, 2023.

    220.68 + (1200 x 0.7 x 0.1801) + (1200 x 0.3 x 0.1422) = 423.16

    Comparison with other European countries

    It is better to subscribe as a particular ?

    The question arises for small professionals established on their own, who may wonder if it is better not to subscribe as an individual, even if it is reimbursed by their company the costs incur. It would ideally be necessary to compare the price grid excluding VAT of blue prices for individuals and professionals, but the website data do not allow easy comparison: prices for individuals are given TTC and prices for HTT professionals (excluding All taxes: excluding VAT, CSPE, local taxes, CTA).

    The answer therefore comes from the study of the tariff grid of the essential offer of totalnergies, which presents the HTVA prices for professionals identical to the prices regulated for professionals):

    • THE subscription and kWh price are cheaper for the essential provallerie offer that for the optional EDF blue price base ;
    • THE subscription price is cheaper for the essential provallerie offer that the optional EDF blue price full hours/off -peak hours ;
    • THE KWH price in full hours is more expensive for the essential Totalnergies essential offer that the Blue Price EDF;
    • THE KWH price in off -peak hours is cheaper For the essential Pro Totalnergies offer that the EDF blue price.

          Price per kWh and subscription to the regulated rate for small professionals

          

          Small professionals choose the blue prices of EDF or market prices (totalnergies which is the new Direct Energie total, Engie – GDF SUEZ. ))

          Small professionals whose power on the meter is less than 36 kVA are subject to the blue rate.

          Since 2003, professionals have the choice to buy their electricity:

          • at the regulated rate : This price is set periodically by ministerial decree on the proposal of the energy regulator (CRE). It is available only at EDF. This is EDF’s professional blue rate, a still very common subscription, but far from being the cheapest on the market;
          • market prices : the price of kWh and the subscription are fixed freely by the supplier. At EDF, market offers do not guarantee a reduction compared to regulated prices unlike those of other alternative suppliers offering reductions ranging up to 5% of the price of KWh to the key (Totalenergies classic).

          At the regulated rate, the price of kWh and the subscription for small professionals depend on the subscribed option (base or full hours off -peak) and the power in the clock. Find the pricing grids of the Professional Blue Price EDF below !

          The yellow price

          Alternatives and the 2015 deadline: regulated prices and market prices

          Professionals with slightly greater electricity consumption are assimilated to the yellow rate . The yellow rate is aimed at professionals equipped with a power counter between 42 and 24 0 kVA.

          EDF’s offer at the yellow rate has long been the most competitive on the market. However, the disappearance of yellow regulated prices was set for December 31, 2015 and alternative suppliers are already able to make competitive offers on this type of profile. Switching to market prices will mainly be carried out in 2014 and 2015, each professional being invited to find out as soon as possible with alternative suppliers.

          Understand the electricity bill for professionals in yellow prices

          The price of electricity at the yellow rate is more complex than at the blue rate. The price per kWh and the subscription depend on the price option as well as the chosen version (which depends on the length of use).

          Professionals providing at the yellow rate have the choice between two options:

          • The base option : depending on the time of consumption, 4 different kWh prices apply. The year is divided into two seasons, winter (from November to March), and summer. For each season, a full hour price and a off -peak price apply. The base option is available in “average uses” version, for professionals consuming less than 2,000 hours a year, and in “long use” version, for those who consume more than 2,000 hours. In this latest version, a third type of hour is added: the hours of “tip”: 4 hours a day from Monday to Saturday, three months in winter (from December to February), the price of KWh is more expensive.
          • the erasing option of peak days(EJP): There are always 4 prices per kWh, but their distribution is not the same. In summer, a full hour price and a off -peak price apply. In winter, there is no time variation in the price per kWh: a single price by default applies the majority of time, the “winter hours” rate. 22 days in winter, the price per kWh of electricity is very high: it is the “peak day” rate. The EJP option is primarily intended for professionals with the flexibility necessary to drastically reduce their electricity consumption 22 days per year, with little or no notice. It is only available in long use version.
