Hoteliers and restaurateurs demand help from Bruno Le Maire to renegotiate electricity contracts. They denounce “contracts with “above ground” prices” and ask the Minister of the Economy to organize a meeting “as soon as possible” “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.

“10 to 15% of professionals would even be bound by contracts with prices exceeding 350 euros per MWh,” assure professional organizations.
