Saving electricity this winter is returning to the main mission of many European countries, which are suffering, or are expected to suffer even more in the coming months, from the crisis and prices that are only increasing.
Recently, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has posted the measures taken by several countries which she says should be applied by every European country this cold winter that awaits us.
Across the EU smart ways to save energy are being introduced.

Slightly higher temperatures for air conditioning, for example, bring impressive results.
Good that Member States like 🇪🇸🇨🇿🇸🇮 are including such measures in their plans.
Together, we save energy for a safe winter. pic.twitter.com/ZxEKP6z6Cd
"Smart ways to save energy are being introduced across the EU. Slightly higher temperatures for the conditioner can bring impressive results. Some member states are including such measures in their plans. Let's save energy together for a safe winter," says Ursula von der Leyen.
According to her, if every family lowers the heating temperature by 1 degree, the savings would be significant.
Lowering the heating temperature at home by just 1°C can save around 7% in energy use over a year.

I'm encouraged to see that several 🇪🇺 Member States – like 🇪🇸🇨🇿🇮🇹 or 🇳🇱 – are introducing measures to optimize heating.
This will help us meet our joint target of 15%, together. pic.twitter.com/i4238lHURh
"Decreasing the heating temperature at home by just 1°C can save about 7% in energy use over a year. I am encouraged to see that some member states are introducing measures to optimize heating. This will help us reach our common objective of 15%, together," says the president of the European Commission.
The @EU_Commission is saving energy too, under its Greening Strategy.

For example, we are switching off heating and cooling in most buildings 1 hour earlier than before, saving 3% of our annual energy use.
We also close some buildings for the summer and facilitate remote working. pic.twitter.com/tofUCQc4DT
Ursula von der Leyen says that the EU Commission itself is also saving energy, according to the Green Strategy. “We are turning off heating and cooling in most buildings 1 hour earlier than before, saving 3% of our annual energy use. We're also closing some buildings for the summer and facilitating remote work," she tweeted.
