This is the end of regulated gas prices. If you are one of the 4 million French people who have still subscribed to it, you have surely received, or you will soon receive a letter from Engie explaining the change to come. Do not panic, this measure will not take effect before 2023. But we can still start to organize now.
The first reflex to adopt is to compare the different gas offers on the market. There are already around twenty suppliers. To compare prices, prefer the independent comparator energie-info.com. Price comparators funded by the suppliers themselves may be biased.
Choose the right comparator
If the regulated gas prices are reassuring for customers, they are not necessarily the most advantageous, according to the energy mediator. By comparing the gas offers to find the most interesting, we can save more than 100 euros on an annual bill of 1150 euros at regulated prices, or some 10% discount.

Also note that switching gas providers is completely free. And that it is up to your new supplier to take all the necessary steps: you will not have to take care of anything! Last thing to know, once a new supplier is adopted, it is impossible to return to regulated tariffs. No need, therefore, to rush since they will not disappear for more than three years.
