CRE publishes two draft decisions concerning TURPE 6
The Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) publishes two draft decisions concerning the tariff for the use of electricity networks (TURPE 6) applicable to the transmission (RTE) and distribution (Enedis) of energy. They are sent to the High Council for Energy for its opinion.
with a view to their application from 1August 2021, for four years. The TURPE is the tariff paid, via their electricity bill, by consumers (both private individuals and small/large enterprises) for the use of electricity transmission and distribution networks. For a residential customer, this represents around 30% of their electricity bill including tax.
Tariffs for the use of public electricity networks cover the costs incurred by electricity network operators. TURPE 6 takes into account :
* investments valued at €69 billion at Enedis and €33 billion at RTE over the next 15 years.
* Reinforced maintenance of the network to guarantee all consumers a high quality of supply.
* Innovation and research (R&D) with an R&D budget of almost €100bn/year for RTE and Enedis;
* The development of electric mobility with the reduction of the cost of integrating electric vehicles into the networks by controlling their recharging;
* The reduction of the environmental footprint, by favouring innovative flexibility solutions instead of building new infrastructure where possible.
The CRE has set average tariff increases of 1.57% per year for RTE and 1.39% per year for Enedis, representing an increase of around €15 in a private individual's annual bill by 2024.
