What Sicae De Precy Saint Martin does

SICAE-PRECY (Sicae De Precy Saint Martin) is a French local electricity distribution and supply company (Société Anonyme) founded in 1921 and headquartered in Piney, Aube department. The company operates as a local distribution company (entreprise locale de distribution) under a public concession, holding exclusive rights to distribute and supply electricity to 4,000 clients across 33 communes in the Aube department. Its core product portfolio consists of four regulated electricity tariff options — Option Base (fixed kWh price), HC/HP (off-peak/peak pricing), Tempo (variable day-type pricing), and EJP (being phased out) — offered under the Tarif Réglementé de Vente framework set by French public authorities. The company also provides photovoltaic connection services, bi-annual meter reading, and digital self-service tools for bill estimation and tariff selection.

The company operates a dual revenue model: regulated electricity supply (recurring subscription-based revenue from residential and small professional clients) and network distribution services (managed services for grid operation, connection, and maintenance within its concession territory). Customers access SICAE-PRECY through a physical agency in Piney, phone customer service, and an online customer portal. With a team of 11 employees, SICAE-PRECY delivers a local, public-service-oriented electricity offering tightly bounded by its 33-commune geographic concession, with no disclosed plans for geographic expansion, acquisitions, or significant headcount growth. The technology stack is conventional utility infrastructure — distribution network management, meter reading systems, and web-based customer tools — with no AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software products, or external partnerships disclosed.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Option Base A regulated electricity tariff offering a single fixed kWh price throughout the year, suitable for residential customers and small professionals without electric heating or hot water production. Power options range from 3 to 36 KVA.
• Option HC/HP (Heures Creuses / Heures Pleines) A regulated electricity tariff providing discounted kWh pricing during 8 consecutive hours at night, allowing customers to run appliances like water heaters and dishwashers during off-peak periods. Power options range from 6 to 36 KVA.
• Option TEMPO A regulated electricity tariff with variable pricing based on day types (300 blue days with the lowest kWh price including all Sundays, plus white days and red days), with kWh prices varying by off-peak and peak hours and consumption days. Suitable for customers with alternative heating sources. Power options range from 9 to 36 KVA.
• Option EJP (Effacement des Jours de Pointe) A regulated electricity tariff option in the process of being phased out, no longer offered to new contracts, which formerly offered reduced pricing during peak days. Existing contracts are honored under legacy terms.
• Photovoltaic Project Support Comprehensive advisory and support services for photovoltaic installation projects, including connection request processing, technical feasibility studies, connection contracts, and purchase contract establishment for customers connecting solar panels to the grid.
• Billing and Payment Services Multiple payment options for electricity bills, including automatic direct debit, monthly payment plans over 10 months, online payment through the customer portal, and in-person payment at the Piney agency.

Direct peers

• Sorégies: Local French electricity and gas distribution company serving the Vienne department around Poitiers under a similar ELD-style public service model. Closest peer in terms of geographic and governance profile.
• Régie d'électricité de Nîmes: One of France's larger Entreprises Locales de Distribution, operating as a municipal régie that distributes and supplies electricity within a defined concession territory — the same structural model as SICAE-PRECY.
• SICAE de l'Oise: Sister entity within the SICAE network that built the Sicae Précy website. Operates as a local electricity distribution concessionaire under the same ELD model serving a different but comparable rural French territory.
• Gaz et Électricité de Grenoble (GEG): Local French multi-energy utility (electricity distribution, supply, gas, and district heating) operating under a public-service concession. Comparable to SICAE-PRECY in being a territorial concessionnaire but with broader energy-mix exposure.

Broad incumbents

• Enedis: Main French DSO managing ~95% of metropolitan electricity distribution networks. The structural counterpart to SICAE-PRECY's distribution role but at national scale; Enedis manages the network SICAE-PRECY indirectly connects to.
• EDF: France's national incumbent utility and historical supplier of TRVE-regulated tariffs. Competes with SICAE-PRECY for the supply portion of customer contracts in its territory and at the national level once customers exit regulated tariffs.
• Engie: Major alternative electricity and gas supplier competing for the contestable supply portion of SICAE-PRECY's customers. Acts as a churn risk as French retail energy markets continue to open.
• TotalEnergies Electricité et Gaz France: National alternative supplier actively acquiring residential customers in France, including in rural territories. Represents a competitive threat to SICAE-PRECY's supply-side revenue even though distribution is captive.

Regional players

• EDM (Électricité de Mayotte): Local electricity distribution utility operating a concession in a defined territory. Comparable in being a small, territorial French distributor but in an overseas region with different regulatory and demand conditions.
