I cover electricity, gas and energy switching for expats in France — writing practical guides to help international residents compare suppliers, understand their bills, and navigate the French energy market with confidence.
About
I joined Selectra as an energy specialist after studying environmental economics, and for the past 5+ years I've focused exclusively on the French energy market for English-speaking expats. Every guide I write is built on primary research — I compare offers directly on supplier websites, analyse CRE regulatory data, and go through the switching process myself so I know exactly what expats face. My goal is simple: cut through the French bureaucracy and give international residents the same clear information a local would expect. When a supplier changes their tariff or the regulated price index shifts, I update the guides within days.
