Potentially ignorant question. How does this impact the consumer? Do they actually get paid/credited for electricity used?

Consumers don't pay the market rate, because that'd expose them to price shocks (see: the griddy fiasco in texas a few years ago). They get a fixed rate from their utility.

In France consumers with below 36kVA grid connection can choose to pay state fixed prices, or they can choose various market offers, here is the official list of electricity providers:

State-fixed prices are rarely interesting though, as the price is calculated to be above-market.
