Alpiq at a glance
Alpiq is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, and has been a major player in European energy markets for over two decades. The company generates electricity primarily from hydropower plants in the Swiss Alps and nuclear facilities, giving it a low-cost production base. Alpiq entered the French residential market to offer households direct access to those competitive rates, bypassing the regulated tariff entirely.
Alpiq electricity offers
Alpiq focuses on simplicity: two fixed-price offers, both designed to undercut the regulated tariff. Unlike EDF or TotalEnergies, Alpiq does not offer indexed or variable-rate plans. The price you sign for is the price you pay for the full duration of your contract — no surprises if rates increase.

Both offers use the same Enedis grid as every other French supplier — the electricity delivered to your home is identical. The only difference is the price on your bill. Alpiq's 2-year offer is particularly appealing for expats who want price stability during their stay in France, as it shields you from any regulated tariff increases over that period.
