How to File a Complaint About Your Energy Supply in France

Updated on
min reading

If you're experiencing some troubles with your energy supplier in France (EDF or Engie for example), here is what to do.

Step 1: Contact your supplier's customer service

The first step in solving your problem is to contact your energy supplier's customer service. Each energy provider in France has its own customer service, and here are their contact details (phone number, online contact forms and addresses).

Be aware that it may be hard to reach English-speaking advisors on the phone, and some customer service phone numbers may be paying numbers.

Most providers commit to answering your online request within two business days. By law, your customer service must have answered to your written request within two months.

Step 2: Contact your Supplier's Mediator

As EDF and Engie are big corporations, their customer service has several layers. If you are unsatisfied with their standard customer service response, you can contact EDF or Engie's Mediator. Keep in mind however that its power is only advisory: neither you nor the supplier are obliged to follow its recommendations.

Step 3: Contact the National Energy Mediator

If you are not satisfied by the customer service or the supplier's mediator answer, you can write to the Médiateur National de l'Energie. The Mediator is an independent public authority which informs the customer and helps resolving energy-related litigations.

Are you unsatisfied with your current energy provider in France? Have you thought about switching suppliers?
