EdF has a monopoly contrary to the situation in Italy and GB. When there was a monopoly in Italy there was an item on every bill, a surcharge to every single consumer, because Italy no longer allowed nuclear energy as of 1987. In a monopoly the consumer has no choice but to pay the bill.

I should have used "could" instead of "can" since apparently the case has never occurred, unlike the case in England in which the government had to take action.
