Macron has urged lower energy price

On January 5 local time, French President Emmanuel Macron said that some energy suppliers are making huge profits from Europe's energy crisis, and many small and micro businesses in France are starting to have business problems due to high energy costs. Some companies' energy bills have increased by 5 or 10 times compared to the past, which is abnormal. Macron urged energy suppliers to renegotiate with small and micro businesses to provide reasonably priced energy and avoid big cost increases for businesses.

Energy prices in the euro area rose by 55.7% in November 2022 from a year earlier due to the energy crisis, according to data released by Eurostat on January 5.
