Faced with the rise in energy prices, companies sound the alarm: the bill is likely to increase for those who consume more gas or electricity. Guest this Tuesday morning on BFMTV-RMC, the Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, announced the simplification of the current financial support system for companies penalized by the sharp increase in energy costs.
“Too complicated”
“When a device doesn’t work, you have to change it” and that device “doesn’t work”, declared Bruno Le Maire. “Today, to have access to support measures, to subsidies, you have to have lost at least 30% of your turnover in a quarter. It’s too complicated,” said the minister.
from the first euro
This simplified device concerns “any company, from the first euro that loses money over a month”, he said. But it will be a “targeted device” aimed at businesses that consume a lot of energy. To benefit from it, it is necessary that “electricity or gas represent 3% of the billing” of the company, Bruno Le Maire specified.
