The 200 billion euro support plan unveiled by the German coalition on October 4 to deal with the energy crisis should benefit the competitiveness of the country's companies, according to a study by Asterès and the European Policy Center in Paris.
Of these 200 billion euros, some 25 billion are planned to compensate industrial companies hitherto excluded from public aid.
Some 25,000 companies, the largest gas consumers, already benefited from aid measures.
For the others, these 25 billion will be used to subsidize 70% of their gas consumption, which will be capped at 7 cents per KWh, i.e. the price of October 2021, the rest being paid at the market price.
The gas bill for German industry is expected to jump from around 7 billion euros in 2021 to 20 or 30 billion euros this year.

State intervention should allow companies to limit the impact of this increase on their profitability.
