Op-Ed (Le Monde): Interdire les coupures d’énergie n’entraînera pas d’augmentation des impayés mais permettra à des centaines de milliers de familles de vivre dignement

Press/Media: Public Engagement ActivitiesPopular

Description

This op-ed in Le Monde argues in favour disconnection bans for people who are unable to pay their energy bills to maintain a life in dignity. It responds to current plans of the European Commission to amend the Electricity Directive to include a disconnection ban, and the publication of a Manifesto on a ban on energy disconnections in Europe.
