Restricting the lighting and heating of public places, Germany's energy -saving measures should deal with "severe winter"

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] "How to spend this winter?" It has been troubled in Germany for a long time, and now the country has finally signed a series of new energy -saving measures to deal with the crisis. According to BBC reports on the 24th, in order to fight against energy shortages, the German government launched a number of winter seasonal measures, such as restricting the lighting and heating of public places, and reducing the dependence on Russia's natural gas.

According to the new energy -saving measures, starting from September this year, the heating temperature of public buildings outside the hospital cannot exceed 19 ° C, and the heating of the entrance, corridor and foyers of public places may be completely cut off. Germany RTL TV reports that all localities will no longer lighten the exterior walls and public monuments of the buildings and the public monument. ; In the heating season, heating suppliers and housing owners have the responsibility to inform residents related energy consumption and save methods; in terms of transportation, compared with passenger trains, coal and oil will give priority to supply of freight trains.

In response, Germany, who is responsible for transportation and digital, said: "Our railway is currently facing the dilemma of power shortage. If you want to temporarily transport additional fuels, you have to make adjustments in capacity arrangements." Not only that Germany will also carry out various energy -saving propaganda.

Habeck, Deputy Prime Minister of Germany and Economic and Climate Protection, said that these energy -saving measures will save about 10.8 billion euros in the next two years. Essence Habeck said, "We still have a long way to go, which requires the joint efforts of the whole country. I hope that it can contribute to energy conservation and emission reduction."

Before the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine's conflict, 55%of Germany's natural gas needs to be imported from Russia, and the proportion has now dropped to 35%. Although the German side declares that it will completely stop importing natural gas from Russia in the future, the report said that the initiative is not in Germany himself. After the "Beixi-2" natural gas pipeline was suspended and opened, Russia recently announced that the existing "Beixi-1" pipeline turbine was stopped and maintained. To this end, Germany is currently building two large -scale liquefied natural gas terminals along the coast of Beihai to reserve natural gas, and most of the other EU countries have made similar commitments to voluntarily reduce natural gas use in this winter.
