Overview
- EDF CEO Bernard Fontana said on Saturday that regulated household offers "are and will be stable" at least until Feb. 1 and possibly until the end of the winter season.
- The promise covers more than 20 million subscribers who still pay the regulated tariff rather than market offers.
- The government asked EDF on October 7 to mobilize maximum generation capacity to avoid winter price rises, a request Fontana cited in his remarks.
- A formal "clause de revoyure" requires the regulated tariff to be reviewed on Feb. 1, which is the official decision point that could reopen the price question.
- EDF says business customers have been protected by multi‑year hedging contracts and keeping household tariffs steady will limit winter bill shocks, though the February review could lead to later adjustments.
