The British government requires nationals to "turn off the lights and turn off the air conditioner" in response to the shortage of energy

According to foreign media reports, the British government may require the British to deal with energy shortages through light turnover and low air conditioning temperature to avoid power outage in winter. At the same time, since Russia has reduced the supply of natural gas such as Beixi No. 1 pipeline, EU member states have been required to reduce natural gas use from August by 15%. France, Germany and Austria and other countries are also urging the people to pay attention to energy saving and minimize energy use.

According to the Sunday Telegraph, the British government plans to persuade the public to try not to shower, light up, and use air conditioners through broadcasting, television, posters and leaflets. In addition, the media also claims that the British National Grid desire pays for its industrial users to disconnect it to avoid power outages elsewhere.

However, the British media claimed that local government officials "unwilling" demanded family reducing energy use. They hoped that through high energy costs, they would automatically suppress their use and reduce energy demand.

Data show that as of April 1, the current energy bills of British families have risen by 54%to £ 1971. At the same time, for about 4 million prepaid fees, their energy costs have also increased from £ 1309 to £ 2017. In October, due to energy limit, energy prices are expected to soar again. According to Cornwall Insights estimates, the annual energy bills of each British each year may soar to £ 3244, and it will even rise to £ 3,363 from January next year.

The British Statistics (Office for National Statistics) said last month that the increasing energy costs have led to more than 90 % of the British people in the past few weeks. Many people choose to reduce their diet. According to statistics, Britain's reduction of food spending has increased significantly from 8%in September to 41%.
