It's staggering.
The French government owns nearly all their generating capacity. They are capping rises at 4% AFAIK. And as it's mainly nuclear, they won't have to absorb all the oil and gas cost increases.
A few years ago our energy use was around 26,000kWh p.a. (mostly gas). Our bills were maybe £2k. Now we need about 7,500kWh, and we could be paying £5,000 a year before long (all electric).
There will be many many households in trouble. The country is in trouble.
