Commission de Régulation de l’Énergie (CRE) is France’s independent energy regulator, created in 2000 to oversee the electricity and natural gas markets. It ensures the proper functioning and openness of these markets, protects consumers, and promotes non‑discriminatory access to transmission and distribution networks.
CRE sets or approves methodologies for regulated network tariffs, reviews and oversees investment plans of system operators (such as RTE and Enedis for electricity; GRTgaz, Teréga, and GRDF for gas), and monitors wholesale market integrity and transparency. It supports the integration of renewable energy, security of supply, and efficient grid operation, and contributes expert advice to public authorities. CRE also cooperates with European regulators and ACER to align French regulation with EU energy market rules. Its decisions influence energy costs, grid access, and market conditions for industrial users, including the chemical sector.
