The French competition authority has recommended abolishing regulated power tariffs (TRVs), arguing they distort price signals and hinder competition. While TRVs provide price stability for consumers, their benefits are limited, especially in crises. The energy watchdog disagrees, stating TRVs are essential for consumer protection and market functionality. Experts express concerns about the implications of removing TRVs, emphasizing the need for political control over electricity prices to ensure affordability and support for the green transition.
