Government pleads with households and industry to be sparing with usage as it triggers emergency plan to manage supplies
Germans are being urged to brace themselves for the possibility of a slow down or complete halt of natural gas delivered from Russia after the government triggered an emergency plan to manage its supplies.
Robert Habeck, the economics minister, has pleaded with both private households and industry to be sparing with their usage, telling them: “We are now in a situation where every kilowatt hour of energy that can be saved, is helpful.”
