The European Union decree highlighting France’s failure to respect free competition in the energy sector led, among other things, to the adoption of the NOME Law (Law No. 2010-1488 of 7 December 2010).
This law, which organizes the electricity market, was notably behind the gradual disappearance of regulated sales tariffs (TRV).
Key milestones — 31 December 2015, 31 December 2016, 30 November 2020, 31 December 2020, and 30 June 2023 — marked major shifts in the energy market with the end of regulated tariffs for yellow and green electricity tariffs, blue tariffs for entities with more than 9 employees or over €2 million in turnover, and natural gas for all professionals.
These changes have strongly impacted professionals and public buyers, forcing them to adapt to the new market imperative: the renegotiation of their energy contracts.
The massive opening to competition has led to the arrival of numerous suppliers, some of whose commercial practices have been described as abusive by the CRE (Commission for Energy Regulation).
Motivated by the desire to protect public consumers, with in-depth knowledge of pitfalls to avoid, established trusted relationships with many suppliers, and strong expertise in public procurement, New Energy has positioned itself as a trusted Assistant to the Contracting Authority (AMO) for local authorities and public buyers since the market opened.
