The  tariffs for using public transmission systems in the high voltage range, known as "TURPE 6 HTB", came into force on 1 August 2021.

These tariffs, validated by the French Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) for a period of four years, are subject to an annual revision on 1 August of each year.

In accordance with the CRE deliberation of 31 May 2023 (deliberation n°2023-136), the tariffs for use of the high voltage range will increase by an average of 6.69% on 1 August 2023.

This increase is regulated and is based on the methods defined at the start of TURPE, namely:

• Accounting for inflation (+4.20%)
• Automatic annual indexation coefficient (+0.49%)
• Taking into account the balance of the CRCP (income and expenditure adjustment account) for which a surplus was paid to users at the start of the year (+2%)

For a more precise understanding of the impact of this change on each component of the various tariff versions, updated tariff lists are available on the Service Portal (Facturation > Comprendre la facture Invoicing section > Understanding your invoice).

Alongside this tariff update, the implementation of TURPE 6 also provided for a gradual adjustment of the number of hours of use of each tariff version. A new phase of this adjustment is being rolled out from 1 August 2023.

In order to support each customer during this period, RTE have carried out tariff optimisations. For further information, customers can contact their usual account manager.
