TotalEnergies at a glance

TotalEnergies entered the French retail electricity market through its subsidiary Direct Energie, which it acquired in 2018. The company rebranded to TotalEnergies in 2022 as part of the group's strategic pivot toward multi-energy. Backed by one of the world's largest integrated energy companies (TotalEnergies SE), it has grown rapidly to become the third-largest supplier in France.

Electricity offers

TotalEnergies offers several electricity plans for residential customers. Unlike EDF, it cannot sell the regulated tariff — all its offers are market-rate, meaning they compete on price against the government-set benchmark. Plans range from fixed-price green energy to web-only discounts.

Ranked by price · , Toulouse · Savings vs .

The Heures Eco offer is particularly interesting for households with flexible consumption — it provides significant savings during off-peak hours (typically 10pm to 6am). For those who prefer price certainty, Verte Fixe locks in rates for a full year while sourcing 100% renewable energy through guarantee-of-origin certificates.

  • Backed by a major global energy group
  • Heures Eco plan ideal for off-peak usage

TotalEnergies is a strong option if your priority is paying less than the regulated tariff — their Heures Eco and Online offers deliver real savings. The main drawback for expats is the complete absence of English support: you will need Selectra or a French-speaking friend for any customer service interaction. If English support matters more than price, EDF remains the safer choice. But if you are comfortable relying on Selectra for setup and the app for day-to-day management, TotalEnergies offers better value.
