Europ'Energies - France: VSEs and SMEs see their energy budgets explode - October 13, 2022

” Today, the situation is very difficult for my VSE and SME customers. They are often family businesses (but not only). They do not have the means to contact large consulting firms that can also follow them on optimizing their consumption or their energy bill. ”, explains Dana Schmit, founder and president of the ICE consultant, to EUROP'ENERGIES, on the sidelines of the Gazelec conference on 11 October.

” Currently, these customers are facing an explosion in their projected electricity budgets for 2023. All the aid announcements remain very vague. To date, some customers remain without a gas or electricity contract for 2023 ”, she adds. All actors are also waiting for concrete announcements from the European Commission and the French government.

” My customers are often very attached to their businesses and they fight every day for their business to survive. ” concludes Dana Schmit. ICE has just joined SirEnergies, the energy consultancy sourcing company.

” SirEnergies' service offering represents an opportunity for my customers. Nevertheless, I remain their privileged interlocutor, while relying on a team of experts and new solutions. ”, says the president of ICE
