Luxembourg's farmers see themselves at a disadvantage as they are often unable to benefit from the energy price cap due to their combined energy metres for household and business.
The 'Centrale Paysanne', Luxembourg's largest professional farmers' association, laments that the majority of agricultural actors are unable to make use of government measures against inflation, such as the energy price cap for households using less than 25,000 kilowatt per hour in a year.
Farmers believe that they are at a disadvantage as they often only have one combined energy metre for house and business, which means they easily surpass the given threshold.
Minister for Energy Claude Turmes now encourages farmers to make use of the other tripartite measures, such as the 62.5% subsidy on solar installations, which he described as an "investment able to produce cheap electricity for the next 30 years".
