Professor Justin Jansen from Erasmus University criticizes the government's delayed Energy Cost Reimbursement (TEK) for SMEs, emphasizing that small businesses have been burdened with extra energy costs for over a year without adequate compensation. He notes that the subsidy is not lucrative for businesses, receiving only half above a certain amount. Jansen hopes companies will utilize the subsidy for sustainable investments and innovation in their revenue models, expressing concerns that some might only use it for survival amid economic challenges.
