How to File a Complaint About Your Energy Supply in France
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.
Provider | Customer Service Phone Number | Online form | Customer Service Address |
---|---|---|---|
09 69 32 15 15 (in French) EDF English customer service number | Online form | EDF Service Clients TSA 20012 41975 Blois Cedex 09 | |
09 69 324 324 | Online form | ENGIE Service Clients TSA 42108 76934 Rouen Cedex 09 | |
09 70 80 69 69 | Online form | TotalEnergies Service Client TSA 21519 75901 Paris Cedex 15 | |
09 70 820 320 | Online form | Eni Service Client TSA 30207 35 507 Vitré Cedex |
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.
