“The immediate guillotine”: this restaurateur from Essonne saw his energy bill jump from 700 to 17,500 euros

When he reopens his restaurant on Monday, Ulrich Alejo will be working at a loss. This manager of the La Rocade brewery, in Villebon-sur-Yvette (Essonne), received a “mass blow” when examining his monthly energy bill by email last week. From 718 euros per month on November 20, 2022, it increases to 17,574 euros on December 20, 2022, according to the documents that we have been able to consult. That’s an increase of… 2,350%!
