Dressing in an eco-friendly way

Choosing the right energy contracts

The first step towards a more eco-responsible lifestyle is the choice of its electricity supplier. Since 2007 and the opening of the energy market to competition, EDF, the historic supplier has lost its monopoly and alternative suppliers have multiplied.

Before choosing your future electricity supplier, it's best to compare them carefully. Indeed, not all suppliers offer the same rates since only EDF is affected by the regulated sales tariff. As for alternative suppliers, they offer market offers whose rates are lower than the offers of the historical supplier.

To subscribe to EDF or Engie or Direct Energy, simply contact the supplier of your choice by email or phone and subscribe to one of the offers. You may even decide to subscribe to an offer of green electricity, that is, electricity generated from renewable energy sources.
