Why is it so important to be energy market savvy?

For many months now, electricity and gas prices have been experiencing successive, spectacular increases that weigh considerably on the activity of many professionals and companies. Making a precise diagnosis together allows you to have a clear picture of your energy expenses and to establish a strategy of optimization and energy transition in order to reduce the impact related to the price, while guaranteeing continuity of service over the entire duration of your next contract.

Several factors determine energy prices:

• Increases in production costs,
• Fiscal and environmental policies,
• An imbalance between energy supply and demand,
• The geopolitical context,
• Climatic conditions,

What is the blue/yellow/green rate?

These colors correspond to the power of the meter you use and are linked to the Regulated Sales Tariff (TRV):

• The blue tariff is applicable to meters whose subscribed power is less than or equal to 36 kVA. This tariff concerns small professionals who have a consumption that is similar to that of individuals. This is the regulated tariff;
• The yellow tariff is applicable to meters whose subscribed power is between 37 and 250 kVA. It concerns firms;
• The green tariff is applicable to meters whose subscribed power is greater than 250 kVA. It concerns factories and companies with high consumption.

Is there a power cut between the old and the new energy supplier?

The answer is NO!

Our Brokers work closely with Enedis on the transition of your future energy contract in order to preserve a continuous and uninterrupted energy, even in case of change of supplier.

Once my new contract is signed, what happens?

You become both a fellow Global Energy Partners’ customer as well as a customer of your new energy supplier.

Global Energy Partners is committed to supporting you with your new supplier to ensure a lasting and healthy relationship. We also remain at your side, at all times, for any information and energy undertaking you may need.

Is the change of energy supplier payable?

No, this change is completely free!

The change of energy supplier is free of charge, provided you respect the expiry date of your current contract.

What are the documents necessary for the competition of your energy contract?

The energy invoice brings together a lot of essential information to make an inventory of your consumption. This document includes:

• The PDL/PRM: this 14-digit number allows you to identify your meter,
• The price of energy you blocked when signing your contract,
• The price of the subscription with your current provider,
• The consumption curve over the last 12 months,
• The share of energy taxes in relation to your consumption,

Those pieces of information allow us to know the possible optimizations and to build the call for tenders with suppliers in order to obtain an long term advantageous offer.
