Abstract

The French government implemented energy price shields in the fall of 2021 to protect the French households and their purchasing power. We propose another measure to cover households against fuel poverty: an insurance that guarantees a minimum level of energy to households. It applies to non-fuel-poor households and is differentiated by income and housing characteristics. For illustration, we focus on non-fuel poor households that live in all-electric dwellings and whose electricity price is regulated. We estimate that 2.06 TWh are needed to guarantee the minimum level of electricity to these households. This measure will be less expensive than the cost of the tariff shield for those households as long as the sourcing price of electricity stays under 803€/MWh!
