The Swiss authorities are planning to resort to power cuts in some parts of the country up to 8 hours a day in order to save money.
On the verge of an energy crisis in Western countries, which arose due to the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, the Swiss authorities plan to turn off electricity in some parts of the country for 4-8 hours a day to save energy. Basler Zeitung reports. The reason for this decision was the threat of a shortage of Russian gas.
Referring to market participants, the publication notes that the Swiss authorities are evaluating the effect of various economic scenarios. Local officials believe that calls for energy savings will help reduce Russian fuel consumption by 5%.
However, it is specified that if such a plan does not bring results, some enterprises will be forced to switch to oil products instead of gas.
It is reported that, if necessary, restrictions on electricity consumption can be introduced, and the standard for maintaining the temperature in buildings can also be reduced.
