TotalEnergies announced, on the morning of Wednesday February 8, to have come close to 20 billion euros in profit in 2022. Aware that this can annoy the French, who have seen their energy bills soar, the boss of TotalEnergies evokes a new rebate at the pump.

2022, a record year for TotalEnergies. Its profit soars, driven by energy prices. 19.5 billion euros, unheard of in the history of the oil giant. A figure that makes people react, even to the government. A beginning of controversy anticipated by TotalEnergies. From the morning of Wednesday, February 8 in the press, its CEO took the lead. A new rebate at service stations, a gesture expected by many motorists.

The debate swells in the United States

For the moment, no additional information has been communicated on this rebate. Will it only apply to gasoline, diesel, or both? Same question about the amount. A discount could be considered if prices exceed two euros per litre. A measure, while the debate on superprofits swells in the United States, with the case of Shell in particular, which made more than 42 billion dollars in profit.
