You've probably noticed by paying your bills EDF: Electricity in France is too expensive. But if we pay less than anywhere else in Europe (except for Finland). The shame ...
Fortunately, the government concocts a higher rates so that we keep our heads high. That said, we as consumers petty, may well be able to find it moved. Indeed, when one is at least juice of the regulations in force until 2010, it is known that EDF tariffs are set by a public service contract with the State, which states that any increase can not exceed the inflation. With the crisis, a significant increase might even be particularly unpopular. So how do we cough up with a smile?
Recommended method:
1 - Using newspapers in the boot of government, giving a media platform to the CEO of EDF, Mr. Gadonneix. The latter, as its Usually, there will pour out his unhappiness contractor experiencing financial difficulties. Than done, immediately said Gadonneix trumpets everywhere need to make an increase in electricity prices by 20% in the next three years.
Normal: Gadonneix is an expert on the rise. The one he had on his own pay attests: 127% in four years to reach an annual gross salary of 1.221 million euros in 2008, is a sacred evidence. If this does not convince you, I do not know what you need.
2 - In the same ducks State, scandalized before the people have time react. Our elected offended by the figure quoted by Gadonneix. "Oh 20%! As you go! There is no question! These are tough times for our citizens, etc.."
3 - Highlighting the difficulties of EDF. Still, if you ask, is that it is justified. Otherwise, you may be sure that we never would type in your wallet. Declare that an increase will be in the study, but perhaps not as strong as that requested by the CEO. (Ah, phew! 19% in three years instead of 20?)
At this point, you think maybe you should have your radiators off more often this winter, even it was minus 10. Error: household consumption has not rocketed suddenly and even, it would have been to the benefit of EDF. We have nothing to reproach ourselves. So where do these difficulties we have to pay our own way?
It's very simple: in recent years, EDF has invested heavily in buying boxes abroad. And now the coffers are empty. Oh sure, this is temporary because it is investment. But in fact, is not this the perfect time to cry in the dark huts and seek higher rates?
Yes, you read correctly: you pay now for electricity, not a service but as a contribution to the debts contracted by EDF in its expansionist bulimia. The joys of privatization. Christine Lagarde think it's great.
4 - In case of protest, wave a terror-argument. We can always argue that you renovate plants at a cost. You would not want a nuclear accident due to your greed moved, anyway? Good.
Epilogue: EDF, temporary deficit due to its recent investments overseas, will win big in the coming years, including because of renovations of existing facilities, as outlined in the Duck * chained. So chic! Gadonneix benefit in it:
a) to give us the benefit of this windfall, lowering the price of electricity?
b) to purchase other clubs abroad and further increase his salary? The
paris are open.
chained Duck * July 15, in the article The raid boss of EDF nuclear on rent: "Thus, it is poised to enjoy a nice windfall: the extension of thirty at sixty years of the life of its central through a simple upgrade of existing ones (400 million per reactor).

add that Brussels is going to require EDF ceases to apply preferential tariffs for large French companies, who must now pay their electricity more expensive . A little butter in the spinach Gadonneix ...
