Households and businesses consumed noticeably less electricity in September: no less than 13 percent less than the average for the past seven years. The austerity measures announced by the Federal Council are therefore beginning to have an effect.
Much to the delight of Energy Minister Simonetta Sommaruga (62). “The campaign has broad support from the population, from the business community, from the cantons and cities. That is very satisfying,” she said in the SRF program “Ecotalk”.
But she still doesn’t want to make everything clear. Because: “This winter we mainly have a gas problem.” Even if the storage facilities abroad are full, the gas still has to go to Switzerland. “In addition, the full gas storage does not change the fact that we are experiencing a gas shortage,” said the SP magistrate. “That’s why it still makes sense to save energy.” (Russian)
