This family-run bakery in the Netherlands is struggling to keep the lights on as energy bills have skyrocketed since the war in Ukraine began
With as many as a million Dutch households at risk of being pushed below the poverty line due to soaring gas and electricity bills, the government of the Netherlands on Tuesday announced 18 billion euros worth of measures in 2023 to shield people from a cost of living crisis.
Toebast's monthly gas and electricity costs jumped from around 3,500 euros last year to more than 18,600 euros . Efforts to reduce energy use, including no longer selling hot snacks after 4 pm and using leftover heat in ovens after baking bread to bake cakes, have not made enough of a dent in his expenses, he said.
Toebast doesn't expect the bills to lower or even stabilize any time soon. Instead, the bakery tries to work as efficiently as possible. But raw material prices have also jumped since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.
