How to set up Elmy energy for your home in France

The process is completely different depending on your situation — choose yours below.

If there is no active contract at your new address, the electricity will be off when you arrive.

This is very common in France. Always call your supplier before your move-in date — activation by ENEDIS takes 1–5 business days. A same-day emergency connection is possible but costs extra.

How it works

1
Find your PDL number
Your PDL (Point de Livraison) is a 14-digit meter reference unique to your address. Find it on a previous occupant's bill, on the meter itself, or ask your landlord. Without it, your supplier cannot open a contract.
2
Call before you move in
Contact Elmy (or Selectra in English) with your PDL, move-in date, ID, and French bank details. The whole process takes under 10 minutes by phone.
3
ENEDIS activates your meter
The grid operator ENEDIS (not your supplier) physically activates the line. Standard activation: 1–5 business days. Emergency same-day activation: possible but chargeable.
4
You receive a welcome letter
It arrives by post in French. It confirms your contract details, tariff, and PDL. Selectra can help you understand it if needed.

What you'll need

  • PDL number — 14-digit meter reference. On your Linky meter, on a previous bill left at the address, or via your landlord. This is mandatory.
  • French bank account (RIB) — Most French suppliers require direct debit (prélèvement automatique). If you don't have a French account yet, call Selectra — some suppliers accept foreign IBANs.
  • Passport or EU ID — For identity verification. A copy is sometimes requested by post after sign-up.
  • Move-in date — Needed to schedule activation. Give as much notice as possible.

Your electricity will not be cut off during the switch.

Switching supplier in France is handled entirely by ENEDIS in the background. Your current supplier is notified automatically — you do not need to cancel anything yourself.

How it works

1
Compare offers
Use the price grid above to compare Elmy tariffs against the market. Savings of 5–15% vs. the regulated tariff are common with alternative suppliers.
2
Subscribe
Call Elmy directly, or use Selectra's free English-language service. You'll need your PDL (on your current bill), RIB, and ID. Takes under 10 minutes.
3
Your old supplier is notified automatically
You do not need to contact your current supplier. The switch is handled by ENEDIS under French energy regulations. Processing takes 2–3 weeks.
4
Final bill and welcome letter
Your old supplier sends a final bill (in French). Elmy sends a welcome letter confirming your new tariff. Selectra can help you read both.

Key facts

  • No termination fee — French law prohibits exit fees on residential energy contracts. You can switch at any time, even mid-contract.
  • Timeline: 2–3 weeks — From sign-up to your first bill with the new supplier. Your meter reading is synced automatically.
  • You need your PDL — Find it on your current electricity bill (14-digit number labelled "PDL" or "Référence PDL").
  • Regulated tariff: you can always return — If you switch away from the regulated tariff (Tarif Bleu), you can come back to EDF at any time at the current regulated rate.
