“The radiator at 19 degrees” – The Commission’s emergency plan for the energy crisis

“Dear Germans, come and spend the winter on the beach,” wrote the German Bild, inviting those interested to spend a winter without… heating in Greece. But what about the majority of Europeans, who will certainly have to spend the winter in their own country?

The newspaper Die Welt reveals the main axes of the emergency plan proposed by the Commission for the event that Russia shuts off the natural gas tap for good: “The European Commission’s emergency plan foresees that from autumn public buildings, offices and commercial properties will be heated to temperatures of up to 19 degrees Celsius. “If we take action now, we can mitigate by 1/3 the effects of a sudden interruption in the energy supply” points out a relevant text obtained by the German News Agency (DPA).

According to the Berlin newspaper and as relayed by Deutsche Welle“the aim is to protect industries that are considered particularly important for the country’s supply chains and competitiveness. But private households are also asked to reduce consumption, on a voluntary basis. “Everyone can save energy and immediately”, writes the European Commission. With the current regulatory framework, if there is a shortage of natural gas, priority is given to private households and hospitals.”
