Hotel and restaurant organizations have called for an emergency meeting with energy distributors to review the price of electricity. Hoteliers and restaurateurs are calling on the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire to renegotiate the prices of their contracts with electricity distributors.
“These contracts are very dangerous because they weigh on the profitability of companies to such an extent that some are now unable to meet their operating costs and repay their debts,” warn the unions. The figure of business failures in the sector increased by 44.6% between 2022 and 2023 according to the Banque de France.
