Fixed-rate offers
A fixed-rate contract locks in your price per kilowatt-hour (excluding taxes and levies) for the length of the contract, typically one to three years. Your rate stays constant even if wholesale prices or the regulated tariff climb, which makes it ideal for households that want budget certainty and protection against market spikes. Use the Fixed filter in the ranking above to see the cheapest fixed offers available right now.
Indexed offers
An indexed offer follows a reference price, most often the regulated tariff, with a fixed discount or premium applied to it. Because it tracks the market, your price can fall when the reference falls, but it can also rise. Indexed offers suit households comfortable with some variation in exchange for a discount that applies whatever the reference does. The Indexed filter above lists them by price.
Green offers
A green contract means your supplier commits to injecting an equivalent share of renewable electricity into the grid, certified by Guarantees of Origin. The electricity reaching your home is identical, but your choice supports the energy transition, and because the extra cost is small, many green offers undercut the regulated tariff. Our dedicated green energy guide explains the labels to look for, or use the Green filter above.
The regulated tariff: current price and trend
The regulated tariff (TRV) is the benchmark every market offer is priced against, so it is worth knowing where it stands. It currently sits at 0.2001 €/kWh including tax for a standard 6 kVA meter on the base option, with an annual subscription of 190.32 €. After climbing steeply through the energy crisis, it has eased back over the last revisions.
The chart below tracks how the regulated price per kWh has moved since 2019. It rose sharply in 2023–2024 as wholesale prices spiked, then came down at the February and August 2025 revisions.

Whichever way the regulated tariff moves, a fixed offer shields you from the next rise, while an indexed offer follows it down as well as up. Either way, the live ranking above shows how much you can save against this benchmark today.
What does a French electricity bill include?
Your bill rests on two charges set by your supplier, plus regulated taxes that are identical for every supplier. Understanding the split makes it much easier to compare offers fairly, a low price per kWh can be offset by a high subscription, and vice versa.
The subscription (abonnement)
A fixed monthly charge covering your supplier's administrative costs and the grid operator (Enedis). It varies by supplier, by the power rating you choose (in kVA) and by the tariff option. You pay it whether or not you use any electricity.
The price per kWh
The charge for each kilowatt-hour you actually consume. This depends on your supplier and the type of offer, regulated or market, fixed or indexed, and is where most of the savings between offers are found.
On top of these, every bill carries regulated taxes and contributions that no supplier can change: the excise duty on electricity (accise, formerly the CSPE), the CTA contribution that funds the energy sector's pension scheme, and VAT (TVA), applied at different rates to the subscription and the consumption. Because these are identical across suppliers, the only levers that change your bill when you switch are the subscription and the price per kWh.
Frequently asked questions
The regulated tariff (Tarif Réglementé de Vente, or TRV) is the government-set reference price for electricity, sold only by EDF. It is reviewed by the public authorities, usually twice a year. Every market offer is priced against it, and many alternative suppliers sell the same electricity for less.
A fixed offer locks your price per kWh (excluding taxes) for the length of the contract, typically 1 to 3 years, shielding you from rises. An indexed offer follows a reference, usually the regulated tariff, with a set discount or premium, so it can go down as well as up. Fixed suits budget stability; indexed suits those who want to track the market.
It changes constantly with the market. The ranking on this page is pulled live and sorted by price, so the cheapest current offer is always at the top, you can also filter by green, fixed or indexed.

Two charges drive your bill: a fixed monthly subscription (the abonnement, covering supplier and grid costs) and the price per kWh you consume. On top of these sit regulated taxes, the excise duty on electricity, the CTA contribution, and VAT, which are the same whichever supplier you choose.
