The French government does not anticipate any significant increase in regulated electricity sales tariffs (TRVE) for the years 2026 and 2027, even though the regulated access to historical nuclear electricity (Arenh) mechanism will end on December 31. Approximately 56% of residential customers, or around 19.75 million subscribers, will remain under TRVE, according to the Ministry of the Economy. This expected stability is based on the currently low wholesale prices for French electricity.
