Energy news: where are you of the establishment of a group of commands for the procurement of energy in your Department

OJ Miotès: We are well advanced and look downstream of the Prefecture on the convention of the Group (1) constitution and proceedings - it is the stage of review of legality. We will address then deliberative models all the communes in the Pas-de-Calais as well as all public services (2) so that they can join. We also proposed to the neighboring departments of northern communities and the sum of us - it is in contact with Cambrai, Valenciennes, Douai and the SIMERE (3). Should launch the formalities of advertising in the first half of July, receive offers from dealers between 1 and 15 September, and then choose.

E.n.: What are your arguments to reach you

J.M.: Buyers do not understand why they will have to leave a system that will lead to increases in price of 20-30, they feel the outlier approach them. It explains that they have no choice, that public procurement Code requires them to appeal to the competition and their proposes to limit the increase. For the moment, there was 99.9 positive - verbal - answers; not a common wish to leave alone, even larger. They know that less than 100 GWh, providers not to interested not to them and that they will therefore not a competitive price. Only EDF would respond to their call for tenders, and with a price without possible discussion. However, the power consumption of the 894 communes of the Department is already 300 GWh and that of other public institutions of the Department, 200 GWh.

E.n.: Have you already thought about the contents of the specification

J.M.: It is not yet in his writing, which should intervene late April or early May. The first idea of the group is the uniqueness and the Equalization of prices at the level of the Department, be it large or small municipalities. Therefore, it is unlikely that it is different lots. It is moving more towards a single price per kWh, day and night, for all types of consumption.

E.n.: Who will take care of billing

J.M.: It wants that vendor to support the total billing and that consumption be invoiced every six months, based on a real statement, and not from an advance payment invoice. Moreover, it is not a single price for three years. We prefer that there be price revisions each year.

E.n.: What will you alert

J.M.: There are first billing, and then advice on ancillary benefits, as the overflows of power, the use of energy and control of the application, or even green energy.

E.n.: You have electricity suppliers already contacted

J.M.: Yes, also well Atel, EDF, Endesa, the Rhône, Poweo, WOMEN'SNET than gas of France energy. The WOMEN'SNET also prefer either gas of France that candidate. But as gas of France think not be ready to respond before November or December, this may be a little just so they can participate.

E.n.: And gas

J.M.: Unfortunately, the market is not open. It was thought initially lead front two calls for tenders, but when it contacted the suppliers, only gas of France replied... Expected that others may occur. It will therefore launch the specifications on the gas in September.
