  1. Hello friends citizens,

    The electricity market has been open for 10 years now. This therefore means that we now have the choice of our energy supplier and that we can change our contract more easily and quickly. I would like to share with you a small site which lists all energy suppliers and which presents all the offers and especially those which promote green energies: http://aelis-info.fr/

    I hope this will help you consume less and become even more eco-responsible!
