What should we expect this winter, beyond the increases in regulated electricity rates? According to The gallery, the government is working on a project to temporarily limit electricity consumption to protect the network from any overexploitation. 200,000 households would thus see the power of their Linky meter drop for four hours, according to the draft decree consulted by the economic daily. The selected time slot is between 6:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and between 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., during the week only.
The households concerned would be notified in advance, by post., to anticipate these slack periods. The idea is that certain customers are forced to consume a little less, rather than having to completely turn off the lights in one place, specified in the media. The text must be proposed on October 26 during a Higher Energy Council, and be completed on March 31.
