Electricity prices in France have been steadily rising, leading to a focus on optimizing personal consumption. The “Linky” smart meters, controversially feared by some for brain-frying capabilities, allow real-time access to consumption data and are easy to use. Enedis provides API access through MyElectricalData for download in CSV format. Pricing information is available through data.gouv.fr, with regulated and market prices varying. Different pricing time periods exist, with the Tempo plan emphasizing winter demand. A Python app fetching data and displaying it visually showcases the benefits of different plans, with Tempo proving to be the most cost-effective option in certain scenarios. NiceGUI and SQLite are highlighted as useful tools for developing such applications.
