Linky: you will have to pay €50 per year if you refuse to install the meter and declare your consumption
If the vast majority of French people are now equipped with a Linky meter, there are still a few refractories. Only here, the latter will have to go to the cash register by paying 50 € per year to Enedis to do without the connected meter. Luckily, there’s a simple way to avoid paying this tax that doesn’t take more than a few minutes.
35.4 million: this is the number of Linky meters now installed in France, according to figures dating from September 20, 2022. In other words, today 9 out of 10 households have adopted the latest generation of electricity meters. Nevertheless, a relatively vocal minority continues to refuse to see Linky impose itself in their house. Enedis estimates that 3.8 million meters remain to be installed in the territory.
If demand is still high according to the network manager, who specifies that 30,000 meters are still installed each month, some simply refuse to be convinced. Only here, the latter could have to pay Enedis to keep their current meter. Nevertheless, it is possible to avoid this invoice with a small simple gesture. We will explain everything to you.
