German government warns of harsh winters and rising gas bills

“Germany must prepare for a tough autumn and a harder winter in terms of rising electricity and gas bills,” Robert Hubbek, Germany’s deputy chancellor and acting economy minister, was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti. This is because the country is trying to eliminate its dependence on Russia in the field of energy.

“To support the people who need help, I have made it clear what we have in front of us,” he said. We will face a harsh autumn and a much harsher winter.

He made the remarks at the Center for Combating Climate Change and Economic Affairs of the German Ministry of Economy. Germany is trying to stop importing oil and coal from Russia by the end of this year and to stop importing gas from this country by the end of 2024, and in this way is looking for alternative sources to supply the energy it needs.

According to the German Chancellor, the figure for electricity and gas bills for German citizens is already very high, and in the coming capital season, many people will experience a figure much higher than normal for their electricity and gas bills.

“People need to save a lot of energy for the cold season,” Hubb said. I know people are already looking for a way to save more money, especially since many have to be careful about spending every cent of their money.

According to the German government’s new plan called Eighty Million, everyone is encouraged to save energy by changing energy consumption, and for example, government websites offer solutions to reduce energy consumption in the country in everyday life, including They raise the temperature of freezers and people are advised to raise the temperature of freezers to 7 degrees Celsius.

Other solutions include the use of LED lamps in offices and ways to reduce water and gas consumption in bathrooms and kitchens.
