&lt;&lt; Art. L.271-3. - In the event that load shedding is valued on the energy markets or on the balancing mechanism, a payment scheme to the electricity suppliers of the curtailed sites is defined on the basis of a reference price and load shedding volumes counted as withdrawals within the scope of the balance responsible parties of the suppliers of the curtailed sites. The reference price reflects the &quot;energy&quot; part of the supply price of the consumption sites whose consumption is totally or partially erased. Payment is made by the end consumer on behalf of the load shedding operator or, failing that, by the load shedding operator itself. By way of derogation, the administrative authority may, for the load shedding categories mentioned in Article L. 271-1 which lead to significant energy savings, impose that the payment of this payment be fully distributed between the operator of load shedding and the operator of the public electricity transmission network. In this case, the share paid by the operator of the public transmission network is set by regulation. It is determined according to the characteristics of the load shedding category, so as to guarantee a benefit for all electricity consumers on the interconnected national territory. It cannot exceed the load shedding mentioned in the same article L. 271-1 which leads to energy savings. The costs borne by the operator of the public transmission network are covered according to the terms provided for in Article L. 321-12. At the end of a period of three years from the promulgation of law n 2015-992 of August 17, 2015 relating to the energy transition for green growth, the Energy Regulation Commission submits a report to the Minister in charge of energy on the implementation of the payment scheme, on the impact of demand response on market prices, on the capacity mechanism and on network costs as well as on the distribution between operators load shedding, electricity suppliers and consumers of the financial flows generated by load shedding. If necessary, it proposes to the Minister responsible for energy a modification of the rules relating to the payment mentioned in this article. This report is made public. The terms of application of this article are set by a Conseil d&#39;Etat decree, following the opinion of the Energy Regulation Commission.
