Electricity rules follow France.

Who controls the grid

EDF SEI runs the grid and buys power from local generators.

Markets & power exchanges

No power exchange: the utility produces or buys electricity and sells it at set tariffs.

Regional grid

Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.

What does “Island system” mean?

A small grid that is not connected to a larger network. One utility typically runs generation and distribution, often relying on imported fuel, with solar and batteries increasingly added.
