The electricity or natural gas supplier sends the consumer on a durable medium an assessment of the cost of the energy consumed that has not yet been invoiced, including the subscription, taxes and contributions.
This assessment specifies that it:
1° Is provided to the consumer for information purposes;
2° Relates to energy consumption that has not yet been invoiced;
3° Does not constitute a request for payment;
4° Is based on actual or estimated consumption or on self-reading indices transmitted by the consumer.
Transmission takes place at least once a quarter at the consumer’s request or if he has opted for an electronic bill, or twice a year in other cases.
However, the assessment is not transmitted if an invoice is sent under the conditions provided for in 1° or if the consumer with the assessment on the secure space mentioned in article D. 224-26 has expressly waived it.
The transmission of the assessment does not apply to natural gas consumers whose annual reference consumption is less than 1,000 kilowatt-hours per year.
