That profit margin of 7.5 percent stands out to council members. “This is typical Eneco,” says Joachim Cornielje of the PvdA. “The result is that ordinary Utrecht residents pay for this.” Charlotte Passier of Volt also reacts shocked: “7.5 percent profit, that really scares me. It is simply a utility with a social interest.” Jantine Zwinkels of the CDA is not very surprised. “Eneco is already known for the fact that district heating is expensive. This confirms the image that ‘we want to make a profit’.”
