Openai has just launched GPT-5, its most powerful artificial intelligence to date. At Selectra, we took the opportunity to question it on a subject that concerns us all: how to effectively reduce your electricity bill? His response, based on an analysis of millions of data, draws an action plan in three pillars, from the simplest to the most profitable.

Summarize this article with:

Pillar 1: The forgotten council of the French, the most profitable action according to AI

When asked for action n ° 1 for a maximum and immediate gain, the response of artificial intelligence is final and does not concern your consumption, but your contract. “Mastering your uses is essential, but paying your electricity at the right price is even more so,” said Chatgpt. Its analysis of market data points to a mistake that millions of French people make: remain faithful to a contract which is no longer competitive.

The cheapest electricity offer of the moment

Thanks to its market data analysis capacity, AI identifies the most profitable opportunity. At a time when we write these lines, the most competitive offer on the market is The fixed offer -20% Primeo Energie. For an average household consuming 6,000 kWh per year as an option/off -peak hours (6 kVA counter), this offer allows an annual savings 189 €or an invoice of € 1,159 against € 1,348 for the regulated price of EDF.

  • Electricity at fixed price 1 year
Score C

Artificial intelligence specifies an often neglected crucial point: if the offer highlights an attractive reduction of 20 % on the price of KWH HT, the real economy on the TTC invoice (all taxes included) is -14 %. It is this figure that directly affects your budget.

Finally, AI highlights a major advantage for budgetary security: the price of KWH and the subscription is set until December 31, 2026thus protecting consumers from price increases for almost a year and a half. For those who wish, an “green energy” option is available for € 5 including tax per month.

The cheapest gas supply of the moment

For gas, chatgpt analysis is even more nuanced. The AI stresses that the “cheapest” offer does not exist in absolute terms: it depends on the use of gas. His analysis therefore identified the best contract for each consumption profile.

  • To heat (the most common case): AI identifies that the most competitive offer is EDF 2 -year gas advantage. It offers a price 6.2 % cheaper that the price benchmarks of CRE. For a home consuming 10,000 kWh per year, this represents an annual savings of 87 €all with prices blocked for 2 years.

  • For hot water and cooking only: For smaller consumers, the classification changes. Chatgpt here refers to the offer EDF optimized gas advantagewho is 6.3 % cheaper that the reference rate, allowing to save approximately 35 € per year For a home consuming 3000 kWh year -round. The prices of this offer evolve each month depending on the benchmark price.
    • Offer indexed to the gas landmark price
    Score B

The AI concludes with an essential warning: “Please note, the gas market is complex and prices vary according to your postal code. Therefore, the only method to identify the most advantageous offer for your home is to use a comparator.”

Chatgpt insists on a crucial point: “Changing the gas supplier is always free, without commitment, without cut and without technical intervention.” There is therefore no risk in looking for a better offer.

The chatgpt verdict: “Use a comparator!”

If the AI should only give one advice, it would be this one. Price differences between suppliers can reach several hundred euros per year. Using an online comparator is the most profitable action to perform in less than 5 minutes.

Pillar n ° 2: control of consumption, easy daily gains

Once the contract is optimized, Chatgpt recommends focus on invisible energy “leaks”. These gestures, often underestimated, can collectively represent up to € 400 in savings per year.

  • Tracking devices in standby: “It’s your first enemy,” analyzes AI. A television, an internet box or a standby game console can represent until € 100 on your annual bill According to Ademe. The solution: plug them into multi -we switching to switch.
  • Optimize heating and hot water: To lower the heating by only 1 ° C, it is 7% immediate savings. Chatgpt also recommends adjusting your water heater between 50 ° C and 55 ° C, a largely sufficient temperature which avoids unnecessarily overheating water.
  • Use the appliances intelligently: “Launching a half-empty washing machine at 60 ° C is an energy aberration”. AI advice: favor “eco” cycles, fully fill your machines and wash at 30 ° C as soon as possible.

Pillar 3: Invest for sustainable savings

Finally, Chatgpt addresses long -term solutions. If they request an initial investment, they are, according to its analysis, “the most profitable financial and ecological level”.

  • Insulation, absolute priority: “Heating a poorly insulated house is like filling a pierced bucket”, image the AI. Isolating your attic, walls or changing your windows are the most effective work. The AI recommends inquiring about state aid like Maprimerénov ‘, which can cover a large part of the costs.
  • Produce your own electricity: For those who can, installing solar panels in self -consumption is an increasingly profitable solution. “You become less dependent on the network and you consume green and local energy,” explains AI, a long -term winning strategy.

The AI verdict: your personalized action plan

In summary, artificial intelligence is not content to list advice, it prioritizes them. Here is the ideal action plan, classified in order of priority for maximum efficiency.

Priority action Cost / effort Potential annual gain
1. Compare and change supplier Very weak (5 minutes, free) Very high (up to € 328)
2. Tracking the watch and optimizing heating Weak (Change of habits) Pupil (up to 300 €)
3. Optimize the use of household appliances Weak (Change of habits) AVERAGE (up to 75 €)
4. Isolate your accommodation Pupil (Investment) Very high (several hundred €)

In conclusion, the advice of artificial intelligence are clear: hunting for waste, the systematic competition of offers and investment in its home are the three keys to regain control of its electricity bill. The power of GPT-5 cat, if we know how to ask him the right questions, makes it a real energy coach for your wallet.
